Facebook- a place in the classroom?

Many educators have strong opinions with regards to Facebook. Either they fall in the "Don't Do IT" camp or they embrace it wholeheartedly. Whichever your stance, you should check out the list of 5 Best Practices for Teachers from Mashable.

By the way, did you know that there are FISD related Facebook pages out there?
There is a page for Pioneer Heritage Middle School, and a page for FriscoISD Libraries to name just a couple. The advanced Marketing students at CTE have also created a Facebook page as part of their ad campaign to end cyberbullying.

Have you ever considered using Facebook in class? Well, it is blocked by our filters, but a little creativity goes a long way here. Why not make a fake Facebook page? Make a page for a historical figure, a famous artist or musician, or a character from a book. See your campus facilitator if you are interested in doing a project like these. We have templates already created that you can use, for both PPT and Google Presentations! There is also a website now called "Fakebook" where you can create a fake page online! Find it here.
