Education is one of the most important tools needed to shape a new generation. School is one place that used to pursue education. Many methods were used to teaching. Now, technology has also been used in teaching methods. Many teachers use it in class to teach their students. They use their creativity to make their students interested. It is because average of students like technology. They always keep up with technology. In fact the social networks that are now being famous like Facebook, twitter, even most of user are students. So, in class technology of language learning we discuss about how to use Google, YouTube, Facebook, BlogSpot, Skype, and web quest in language learning.
Class divided into some group, and my group discuss about how to use Facebook in language teaching. Based on our discussion to learn language we must learn about speaking, writing, reading, and listening. In fact, Facebook can be used to all of that. The first, Teacher can upload video to Facebook for listening, and the students can give comment after they listening and watching the video. The second, teacher can ask the students to write story or other, and then the students must put it into Facebook. It is for writing. The third, teacher can put a story in Facebook and ask the students to read it and give comment. The fourth, now in Facebook there is a new application for chatting through web camera. It is called ChatVibes. The student can do ChatVibes with their language teacher, so the teacher can assess their students speaking.
I think we can create social networking for education and it is can make students interested to learn language. Students learn the technology faster than their teacher. So, the teacher must try to move more quickly than their students. Let’s become a sophisticatsed teacher to compensate for age.

Social Networking Sites or SNS can be considered as one of the greatest invention in this decade. It has linked people around the world in a way that is so much different that it used to be in the past. It has redefined the words 'friendship', and 'like' as we have never known before. As teachers, it is interesting to keep digging on the possibility of using SNS for teaching and learning. There are lots of possibilities, can you come up with one idea?
