Thing #19

I am already a member of TeacherPop, I joined TeacherPop in another class that I have taken with Dr. Wall. I was able to explore the site then and again now that there are more members. I like TeacfherPop more than I like other social networks and find that it is more user friendly. I have not used it much because I have been so busy with school and my class this year. I do think that it would be a great as well as a resource for teachers. I also am able to keep up with other teachers that I have met through APSU. I think that as the teaching program builds at APSU the site will also build and offer many more opportunities for teachers.

I did look at some other social networks and the one that stuck out to me was Bake space. I love to cook and love to cook with my girls! I was clueless that a site like this was out there. I like the way that you are able to exchange recipes and keep them online and not have to write them down. I can not tell you how many recipes I have cut out or written down that I have then lost!

I think that as far as social networks go I will stay a member of TeacherPop but that is about it. I signed up for my space only to create a site for the assignment but do not plan on continuing with myspace. I do not have much of and interest or time to take part in that type of community. I will use TeacherPop because I think that it has things to offer me that will make me a better teacher, this is something that myspace is lacking.
I am able to keep up with those that I want to and I still am a huge fan of meeting my friend face to face as well as talking to them on the phone to keep in touch. If I keep in touch online it is through good old fashion email.
