PEDAGOGICAL PERSPECTIVES OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES IN EDUCATIONThiyagu K
Social networking services are increasingly being used by educators as teaching and learning tools that supplement traditional classroom environments as they provide new opportunities for enriching existing curriculum through creative, authentic and/or flexible non linear learning experiences. From chat rooms, discussion forums, blogs and wikis, services like Facebook, and/or virtual world’s like Second Life, social networking tools are being meaningfully added to curriculum. The use of social networking services in education has been shown to benefit education a number of ways by supporting social learning, constructivist teaching practices, authentic instruction, student centered learning, and on demand access to learning. More research needs to be conducted into the use of social networking services and other communicative Web 2.0 technologies in teaching and learning. This article explores the pedagogical usage of social networking site and features of social networking. This article also describes the challenges of opportunists to use the social networking sites in education.

2. Introduction
Some research has argued that Facebook and other
social media networks have educational potential.
Facebook can promote interaction between students
and teachers – such as making announcements,
discussions and sharing resources..
3. Introduction
There is a growing controversy over the use of Facebook in
education. Some argue for its integration and others disfavor it.
I believe that the main reason behind this controversy is the lack
of solid empirical researches about the overall value of not only
Facebook but all other popular social networking in education.
There are , however, some researchers ( like Crook and Harrison
,Charnigo, Barnett-Ellis, Hewitt and Forte, Mathews, Mazer and
Murphy ) who have written about the potential of social
networking in education, yet only few studies have specifically
addressed its role in pedagogy.
4. Advantages of the use of Facebook
in education
Here are some of the benefits you may harvest from your effective
use of Facebook with your students :
Relaxed, friendly and inviting atmosphere
which encourages students participation and engagement
Students feel comfortable learning through Facebook because
most of them use it everyday
Facebook can promote collaboration and social interchange
between participants
Students get engaged about their learning outside the classroom
5. Facebook tips for teachers :
Teachers should create a separate account just for their classes
Manage your privacy settings to keep your professional and private lives separate.
You need to be diligent about policing what kind of photos are shared on Facebook
You need to give clear instructions to students on the kind of stuff to be shared on
Facebook
You should teach students about netiquette protocol.
Ask for parental permission before getting students on Facebook
When granted permission always keep parents updated about the learning that is
taking place via Facebook
Students should never post threats, racist materials, or libel
Always engage in civil and respectful debates. Do not talk bad about your school.
Do not add students as friends on personal accounts and always maintain your
distance.
6. Facebook tips for teachers :
Use Facebook 's flexible privacy settings to pick and choose who
can see what on a profile page
Teachers can set up a private class group to communicate with
students
If you have a classroom blog you can import it to Facebook for
students to stay updated right from their profiles
Do not post personal comments about ones children, pets,..etc..,
unless they are relevant to the tasks at hand
Do not get involved in a student's private life
No student should ever be forced to add one another as a friend
Remind students to police themselves online. Students do better
when they feel they are responsible for their learning
The last tip is to always stay engaged. Try to remain so even if the
class is a poor fit

communication between you and your students. Check this
