I think with any profession that networking is a key aspect because it can open up many doors for you. I think for teachers, it is important to understand networking because it can allow you to learn new concepts from other people who are more experienced and have a better insight of how to teach. Networking can be a huge learning experience as well. From my experience using Facebook, I have watched it change from a simple social media site to something so much larger than that. I think the most interesting thing about Facebook is it's ability to link people all across the globe.
As far as the classroom is concerned, I already know of many schools and school organizations that have a Facebook page. It is a great way to convey information to all different kinds of users. For example, my high school Theatre department had a Facebook page and it was VERY handy. All of the rehearsal dates were posted, sections of script that were being worked on, when the performance dates were, as well as the contact info for all of the cast members. It was very beneficial to have, and I liked the fact that the school was linked to such a huge and popular social scene.
