Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine classroom teachers’ Facebook use in terms of their individual characteristics such as gender, age, teaching experience, computer use, and internet use. Data were collected from 295 classroom teachers who have an active Facebook account through an online questionnaire. Findings showed that classroom teachers’ intensity of Facebook use was associated with age, years of teaching experience, and the amount of computer and internet use. However, there was no difference in the intensity of Facebook use between male and female classroom teachers. Implications, limitations, and further studies were discussed.
