Thing 19

The best advice of social networking for educators is to definitely keep personal and business separate. You do not want to mix or intervene the two because you need a balance of work from home life.  When using social networking for education purposes use it to your advantage.  You want to use the sources to help find different lesson plans or give you ideas to assist you when teaching the curriculum.  When you find something useful share it.  Sharing is caring, so whether you share it verbally with a coworker, or "retweet", "repost", or "repin" it to the another network site, its always best to help others out. If it works for you, it may work for someone else too.  
I am a member of pinterest.  I love pinterest and recommend it others. You can find ideas on just about anything. The most recent "pin" that I found interesting was a blog titled The Top 10 Pinterest Boards for Teaching. You can find it at the link below.

This blog is helpful because it takes you directly to other pinterest boards that have useful educational activities that were posted by other people. I have been using the Math Activities board quite a lot for the My Quest, and I plan on continuing to use social networking sites throughout my career as a teacher.
