I decided to choose Hi5 to be SNS for my teaching because it is convenient for the students to study. Hi5 is wide opened for people around the world to have their own account for free and people are able to find their old friends or make a new friend with other people on Hi5. Moreover people who are not the member of Hi5 can search the link to visit person whom they would like to see on Hi5, however it depends on the privacy allowance of each person too. I also have my own account on Facebook website but when compare between Hi5 and Facebook ever both of them offer many of similar functions to do but I think Hi5 is the best for my teaching because students can link to visited my Hi5 and comment or express their idea without the process of register requirement, it opposes to Facebook that students have to create their own account first.
