Explore Social Networking:
It is very important for educators to know about social networking and how it works.  Most students, in most grade levels, are using some kind of social networking.  Social networking sites are great for personal use, but I don't think they are very educational and I don't think they belong in the classroom.  There have been many issues with cyber bulling done through these sites.  These sites are great to keep in touch with people or learn about events going on, but I think these sites are better for adults.  I think Facebook has more features than Twitter but I know Facebook has had several issues with privacy.  Personally I'm not a big fan of social networking sites.  I have Facebook and Twitter but I don't use them very often.
