Facebook can be such a helpful tool when it comes to communicating! Facebook allows you to create groups so that you can communicate privately with several people at once. You can make a calendar or create an event on Facebook and send invites to certain people so that they can stay in the loop about what is going on.
Teachers need to know how social networking works because it can be a very useful tool, or it can be very dangerous. Teachers should utilize all of the tools available on these sites, but they should also be mindful about what they put on their pages because they are public.
I have been on Facebook for years, so I am most comfortable using it over Twitter. I have never understood the way Twitter works. A key factor in being an effective teacher is being an effective communicator, and the more tools that you provide for communication, the more they will be utilized. Teachers can use social networking sites to communicate with each other or to communicate with parents.
There is more to Facebook than meets the eye!
