    Downloadable educator's guide by Linda Fogg Phillips, written at Facebook's request.  The homepage says:   "Our commitment to you is to provide an easy way to stay updated as changes occur with Facebook.  We created this website to do just that, in addition to providing you with even more insights, guidance, and resources." but that still doesn't tell me much about what's in the guide...

Media Examples for the Classroom - TEACHING MEDIA - 1 views

  • Some of the most productive parts of the class were the weekly take-home assignments that asked the students to post comments on their social networking sites while using connected viewing technology
  • While the students learned a lot from the class assignments, they were initially anxious about letting an instructor into their social network. I felt it was necessary to preserve the anonymity of the students for the study so I wanted to keep their comments about the connected viewing private.
  • Unfortunately, the only way to ensure this anonymity was to create a “secret” Facebook group. “Secret” Facebook groups are one of three categories of groups that allow members of the social network to collaborate on a project. Though this setting allows all posts and members to remain confidential it also required me, as the creator of the “secret” Facebook group, to “friend” all of my students so that I could then add them to the group.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  •   “Friending” the students raised some privacy concerns for me and for my students. Suddenly, we could see the everyday things that we were posting to Facebook. According to a survey conducted by Tammy Swenson Lepper, students are uncomfortable with authority figures making judgments about them based on their “private” Facebook communications, regardless of the pubic availability of this information (183-184)

      I thought to create a group you do not need to friend the members, do you?

      Here comes the factor of the Net generation and their "comfort zone"
  • Facebook and Twitter are easier to manage on mobile devices and are familiar interfaces.

      very good point
    • Amy Uribe
       
      I agree!
  • This makes the class more student-centered and gives those struggling to follow lectures and readings an additional platform to work through course concepts.

College 2.0: 'Social-Media Blasphemy': An Academic Adds 'Enemy' Feature to Facebook - C... - 2 views

  •  
    Is FaceBook too "nice"??
  •  
    Fascinating that Facebook does not want to add a dislike button because of advertisers. I am not sure that an "enemy" button taps into critical thinking, how about a disagree button? And then you can explain in the comment section why.

Facebook and Twitter are creating a vain generation of self-obsessed people with child ... - 3 views

    I don't think that the facebook craze has effected us THAT much, goodness!!! I am 22 and am part of this generation, and I can say that most of my friends and I have grown out of the facebook phase, we aren't obsessed like we were at the end of high school and start of college.

    An amusing article ... and perhaps with some degree of truth to it ... but I am unsure why the opinion professor of pharmacology who has done no research on the topic warrants an article.

Thinkquest - (Facebook for elementary??) « The Techie Classroom - 4 views

    • Erika Sass
       
      Has anyone used Thinkquest? It looks like a great way to introduce elementary students to social networking in a safe way. I also posted a great site that does online safety and cyberbulling in 15 minutes lessons with Garfield cartoons for kids.
    • anonymous
       
      Yes, I have used it primarily with middle school students and I have found it quite useful. The last time I used it was several years ago to set up a list of websites to use with a webquest, a very simple and easy thing to do.
  •  
    "Facebook" option for elementary?
  •  
    This looks pretty promising. I also think the connections you made on this site are great - asking for resources and someone commented back with great resources on kids safety on the internet. Awesome!!
  •  
    I also liked the description. I will make an account to explore it and see if it is something we can use with older students as well.

How Schools Can Use Facebook to Build an Online Community - 1 views

  • But “being safe” shouldn’t mean missing out on a key opportunity to engage the community.
  • Facebook is an excellent opportunity for a school to connect with families and share information rapidly. If a school is consistent in keeping the information updated and accurate, students and families will likely come to rely on the Facebook Page as a resource to find information about what’s going on at the school.
    • Kim Fynboh
       
      so true!

Facebook-ing and the Social Generation: A New Era of Language Learning - 1 views

  •  
    Abstract: In this paper, we examine the use of Facebook (FB) as a social networking tool in an intermediate French class. After reviewing the available studies on FB in language instruction, we analyze surveys that were administered to students as well as student FB posts. We look at the potential benefits of social media, specifically FB, and discuss its impact on foreign language learning. We aim to address how FB is being used in the language classroom, how students respond to the integration of this social networking site in courses, the attitudes of higher education foreign language learners towards FB, as well as the role of FB in new learning spaces and with today's learners. An analysis of survey data suggests that students respond in a positive manner toward the use of FB in education and highlights some differences in the way FB is used in both personal and academic settings.

Facebook Pages vs Facebook Groups: What's the Difference? - 1 views

  • There are a number of factors you need to consider when choosing which is right for your project, a Page or a group.
    • Jessica Rojas
       
      I like the information given in this site.
  • Groups offer far more control over who gets to participate. Permissions settings make it possible for group admins to restrict access to a group, so that new members have to be approved. Access to a Page, however, can only be restricted by certain ages and locations. Again, this makes groups more like a private club
    • Jessica Rojas
       
      Read here.
    • Adrienne Gonzales
       
      This statement really helps simplify whether a page or a group is right for you. Based on this info, I think for teaching a group is best.

    Facebook isn't just a great way for you to find old friends or learn about what's happening this weekend, it is also an incredible learning tool. Teachers can utilize Facebook for class projects, for enhancing communication, and for engaging students in a manner that might not be entirely possible in traditional classroom settings.
