About Me

I have been coaching Basketball and golf for the past 5 years and have loved every moment of it. It is why I have decided to head back to school to become a physical education teacher. I really love being able to shape the next generation through sports and education.

Social Networks within the Classroom

Using too much Social networks can be good or bad. We need to be looking to the future of how the world will work and these networking sites are the future. With that said, we cannot be completely one sided. There are some great uses of these network sites including allowing students to learn from one another on these sites after school. Many times when students need help they could struggle to understand by talking on the phone. Now, they have the capability to correspond with each other online and see what they are talking about.

Advantage are plenty, but we need to be aware of the social things that the students are missing out on by not actually physically socializing with each other. But beyond this I believe that we are living in the days of technology and we must not fight what is coming but embrace it. Social networking sites can be utilized greatly if we only try.
