This must be the easiest assignment for the 23 Things!
I already have a Facebook account set up. You can find it at: Philip Authier's Facebook link
I think that it is imperative that teachers learn about Facebook and understand the basic concept regardless if they have their own account. Students with internet access will most likely have an account or will get one in the future. I feel that Facebook is more user friendly than Myspace. I have an account with both networks, but found Myspace required more knowledge on html than Facebook. The concept behind Myspace is good, it creates your own personal webpage, but Facebook is much better for socializing.
I don't believe that either website has a school application. The news media has reported on many abuses students and teachers have made. I personally do not have any students on my friend list. I will "friend" co-workers and adult friends, but I would be wading into a professional swamp if I added current or past students to my profile!
