100 Ways You Should Be Using Facebook In Your Classroom

This links to Online College's great selection of ideas.


 

facebook's Page Manager can be used to display information, links, news etc. in a way that will be pretty familiar to facebook users. You can also use inbuilt tools to promote it or share it across a limited selection of friends. It may not be the best 'page creation' tools around but, bearing in mind the market on its doorstep, it's worth experimenting with. 

 

So far, all I have done is a webtools page which just has a feed from a blog (so it doesn't need any attention!!) and I used an 'event page' for a local party last year. That was excellent but it would require some lateral thinking to make it useful in an educational environment! I may add the link when I find it, though.
