Account Reflection

Throughout this course I have been able to set up both a PBWorks account and a Facebook account (I already had a Facebook account!) Both accounts can be valuable resources for teachers to use in their classrooms. I have never used PBWorks before so I was interested in learning how to set up a wiki and how to edit pages. Overall, I found it to be slightly complicated and not very user friendly but I do see the benefits of using a wiki in my classroom. I plan on spending more time exploring this website to learn how to use it better and more effectively. I personally have had a facebook account for about five years so I am very comfortable with using this site. However, I personally would not choose to use it in my 8th grade math classroom because I feel it would be more of a distraction than a benefit for my students. I am not saying Facebook should not be used in schools, I am just choosing not to use it in my particular situation!
