So, it's been a little while since I've posted anything on here. I went to Saskatoon for the weekend to visit a friend, I had an awesome time and I'm so happy I went. The only thing I wish I would have done is spend an extra $30 and get a better hotel. My hotel was less that what it showed in the pictures online and were probably from a few years ago. The 'free wifi' didn't really work anywhere in or around the hotel, so that is why I'm just posting on here now. So, what I had wanted to post about a couple days ago was an addition to the blog I posted last week about social media in the classroom. I had said I don't think that facebook is a good idea in the classroom, but I did a little research and looked at one post in particular by Jeff Dunn, called 100 (Updated) Ways to Use Facebook in Your Classroom. I haven't really changed my mind but I have opened my mind a bit, I think it could be a good idea to just make a different facebook profile, for example I would use Miss Hopfauf instead of mine now. In this aarticle there are a few things that I really think would be some cool things to use in the classroom are:
- connecting with museums and educational places all over the world
- students can poll the public for assignments using facebook
- facebook book club
- using facebook as a journal entry
- having a class group
- reminding your students of important things coming up
- use facebook for giving homework help
...and tons more! You should take a look at this post, Jeff Dunn has quickly become my favourite blogger on technology in the classroom.
