Facebook in the Classroom

Facebook in the Classroom 

Richardson, W. 2010, Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms. 3rd Ed. Corwin Publishing, Thousand Oaks, CA. Chapter 9.

After reading the section from Richardson's book about using Facebook in the Classroom, I felt compelled to try and set up a course. I had no idea that Facebook had the capability of setting up a course in such a manner. I went to Facebook and set up a course for my Work Readiness class this fall. I have never been a fan of becoming friends with my students and will not when they send me requests. This is a great way to grab the students attention without getting to personal. It is something they are all familiar with and can easily use. I am excited to get this course going in the fall.
