Thing #19: Beyond Facebook, Other Social Networks

While Facebook can be entertaining and can suck you into the games quickly, it provides little to no professional or educational interaction. Sites like TeacherPop are providing a place just for educators to interact with one another with questions and concerns and ideas that they have about teaching. While it took my quite some time to figure out the navigation, I found that I really like the site as a whole. While exploring teacher pop I replied to a question posed by Adrienne with an idea of how she could make her curved grading fair, commented on an adorable photo of a child interacting with a deer, and uploaded a profile picture to my account.

While I thoroughly enjoyed exploring teacherpop, of course I was excited to see a social network specifically about animals, Fuzzsters.com. Fuzzsters offers a place for proud pet owners to show off their furbabies by creating a profile specifically for them. While I really enjoyed admiring other folks pets, I don't have the time to do the same for Raven (my dog). In the future when I have more time it may be of interest to me to give Fuzzsters.com a second look.
