The Importance of Using Social Networking Sites :
My most important reason for using social network sites is to keep in touch with family and friends who live far away . Social network sites give us a chance to strengthen our relationship with people . That is because you can be in touch with them anytime . You know what they are doing and what they are thinking . So you can replay to them and share ideas .
Social Networking Sites in Teaching :
A teacher can use social networking sites in teaching . This will give students a chance to use the target language outside the classrooms .
As a teacher I can create a Twitter profile for the course . On the profile I will tweet home works and some funny tweets related to the topics I am teaching . For example , If the lesson was writing ( daily routine ) , I will create a hash tag and name it @Eeveryday . And I will ask students to tweet 5 sentences about their daily routine . So each students will have 5 tweets . For example , @everyday at 7:00 A,M I go to school .
Another way of using Twitter is that I ask students to upload a picture they like and describe it or I can upload the picture and ask students to describe it by replying .
