DD-Social+Media

=DD-Social Media=

Social Media has been around a few years. I had friends from high school try a few years ago to get me to join one of the sites for Social Media. I was reluctant because I didn't want one more thing to do. Wasn't email enough? I soon relented and now I'm happy I did. Email limits you to a one-to-one or group -to one. I finally joined and am connected with a lot of my high school friends and college friends. What's funny is that some of these connections, cross connect. Maybe I'd never known that some of my present friends were friends with someone else I knew. Interesting!

I do like the idea that it connects groups together and that they all can interact. That makes it a lot more fun.

I loved the idea of people ideas merging into one place. There's nothing like sharing and collaborating to make oneself richer and fuller.

Social Media in the Classroom 1. sharing of ideas about any subject you might be studying at the time 2. the goodbook.com website would be great to share reviews about books you have read or are reading; could be used by a classroom of students or grade level to spur interest in a particular subject 3. immediate posting of ideas for not just one person but a class, grade level or district.

I created an account in goodreads.com.
