Connecting Outside of Class
Social networks are web pages that create networks of people online. The two most popular social networks are MySpace and Facebook. Many libraries are also starting to create a presence in Flickr, a photo sharing network.
From a student commenting on authority figures in Facebook.
"It depends. For the most part, no. I'd much rather they stay out of it. However, I do have one professor who is known for being fairly hip. He's on Facebook and I have no problem with this because I know he's not going to abuse that position. He won't use Facebook for school stuff unless it's a fun event or something like that. I would not want faculty to use Facebook as an official platform for class topics."
