The previous post gave an overview of social media and suggested some classroom uses. This post offers specific information on Facebook, its use by the department, and one of our instructor’s classroom application of a blog.
Facebook
A white paper titled, “Drive Belonging and Engagement in the Classroom” provides a closer look at Facebook from a classroom perspective. It discusses Facebook popularity, demographics, growth, etc. along with ideas on:
1. Creating a teacher or student biography (called a profile).
2. Creating student groups.
3. The sharing of photos and videos.
4. Publishing notes and classroom examples.
5. Management of assignments.
6. Testimonials of instructors.

Department Facebook Page
The department’s use of Facebook is just beginning. The idea behind the Facebook page is to establish a presence rather than being a social networking place. To view the department's page, you will need to join Facebook. It is easy, free, and safe. Join and view by clicking here.
Classroom Blog
A long-time department instructor has been operating a class blog for several years. He uses it to keep in touch with former students, provide current information, offer supplement material, etc. View the blog by clicking here.
