I enjoyed discovering the possibilities of using Facebook as an educational tool. There were applications there that I was not aware of and it did open my mind to the possibilities. Many of my classmates are teachers who came up with great ideas on how to use Facebook Apps. to support a learning activitivity for their classes. Like many people who jump on bandwagons without proper information and a plan, I think we can do something that will be engaging for learners of all ages.
We also reviewed an article written by Dian Schaffhauser, that addressed privacy issues for educators online, where a teacher made a comment on her facebook account and thought it was in fact a private comment but was recovered by a news team. This spark a discussion between teachers, parents, adminstrators, and others in regards to free speech. This was an interesting discussion for our class as well. There were different perspectives but it was clear that most believe that teachers have to be responsible at all times about there comments and presence in an online environment.
