I have a FacebookAccount, a Linkedin Account, and a Plaxo account.
I just got the Linkedin account and I have not explored it much. I have found friends on Plaxo that I had lost track of.
As for Facebook, I find that I can connect with my grandchildren through Facebook faster than I can through traditional email.
1. Educators need to be current so we are aware of the student's activities--good and bad.
2. Insights--"Kids say the darndest things" Kids post anything without thought or preamble to possible consequences.
3. Like or dislike--See #2.
4. Most useful features--Facebook seems to be the leader of the pack.
5. Educational application--the jury is still out on that one.
I am very guarded when I talk with the grandchildren. I try to write very carefully and very professionally. I do not want to write anything that could harm them in anyway.
I am even a member of a group that has informative features.

It is a great way to connect with the young people in our lives but I also find I visit more with relatives and old friends I don't see anymore. Facebook has been great for me!
