Facebook and Classroom Community
Although it is unclear at this time whether the use of Fb is linked to improved student performance, I hope others will see the value of using Fb as described here.
It is definitely not for everyone -- you must be committed (especially time-wise) to using it. But knowing that you and your hundreds of students are finally seeing eye-to-eye is worth the effort!

Facebook launches 'groups for schools'
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/11/facebook-launches-groups-for-schools/
Facebook launches 'groups for schools'
'Groups for schools' creates a virtual venue for collegiate collaboration, letting students and faculty members share un-copyrighted files within the groups created for their sports teams, clubs and even individual classes.
There is a file limit of 25MB in play, so consider those dreams of sharing videos and zipped up apps crushed -- you'll also need to provide a .edu address that matches the school before Facebook grants you admission.

5 Best Practices for Educators on Facebook
“Students are already very familiar with the platform and spend a lot of time on the site,” Junco says. “Because of this, there is usually a good amount of activity [in class related Facebook discussions] because students receive notifications of new group posts in a timely fashion (something that doesn’t happen with Learning Management Systems).”
Here are tips from Junco and other teachers on how to effectively use Facebook in the classroom.

Teacher Professional Conduct on Facebook
A newly-qualified secondary school teacher published her holiday photos on her Facebook page. They included pictures of her sunbathing and drinking with friends in a bar. She had set her Facebook profile to ‘public' and one of her students found her profile and viewed the photos.
The student passed the link on to their friends and soon, a number of students had seen the pictures. A parent also saw them and contacted the school to complain about them being inappropriate.

For children e-mail is "something your dad does" and their search engine of choice is as likely to be YouTube as Google.
But with many of the disruptive technologies that drip-feed children in their leisure hours banned within school buildings, what hope do teachers have of engaging their tech-savvy pupils?

Yet here I am, again, in media res. It seems I always start in the moment, in the middle of things. Well, this time it would be helpful if I gave you some background.

It appears that some individuals and groups are promoting the banning or restricting of student and staff access to Facebook and other Web 2.0 social media in the Tasmanian Polytechnic.
Student access to Facebook and some other Web 2.0 sites have already been restricted on some campuses and denying staff access to Facebook during most of the working day is apparently being considered.

f you read this article on Yahoo! Shine, you’ll question whether teachers should ever put themselves in this position with their students. The article has some whopping examples of teachers who were cluelessly inappropriate with student “friends.”
On the other hand, maybe it helps call out creepers we wouldn’t otherwise know about.

Teachers, students and Facebook, a toxic mix
The headlines conjure up every parent's nightmare: "Teachers fired for flirting on Facebook with students."
The New York Post reported that three New York City teachers are accused of inappropriate "friending" -- and worse.
One teacher left comments like, "This is sexy," under girls' pictures, school officials told the paper.
Others made lewder comments, and some even used Facebook to initiate real-life relationships with students, it said. All three have been fired.

Why Teachers Should 'Friend' Students Online
http://bit.ly/dkigmP
Why Teachers Should 'Friend' Students Online
This week, an educator friend (Georgia) of mine tweeted that he was being told to 'unfriend' many of his Facebook friends...because they are students.
As I responded, another IT educator friend (Texas) of mine said someone from ChildSafe (no link ever for them) made a statement that teachers 'friending' students was "stepping over the line." The implication was that pedophiles and molesters go to where children are, and teachers should not make online relationships with students for fear that they might be considered child molesters.
Yesterday, another educator friend (Nevada) of mine tweeted that his child's friends were 'friending' him on Facebook, and the 'kids' thought it was cool.

Facebook : Wikipedia Page
Facebook is a social networking website launched in February 2004 that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc., with more than 500 million[6] active users in July 2010.
Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.
The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over.
