There are, as I wrote in my last post on the subject, potential benefits to the use of social networking sites in the classroom and how creative teachers can be when they use the social networking site Facebook to teach a history lesson. In the link that follows this paragraph, read about how a public school in one small city in the state of Florida are currently utilizing the social networking site Edmodo.com in their classrooms to connect students with teachers, by providing "a safe way for [them] to connect, share content,
access homework, participate in discussions, manage due dates and
receive class information."http://www.newssun.com/news/091313-sg-edmodo
Thanks for sharing this article! Great comments too.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your comment. After I read this article I just knew that it was one that had to be shared. As the result of reading it, I realize how creative teachers can be with Facebook if they want to teach a history lesson or a lesson from any other field of study. Social media is such a powerful tool and we, as educators, should harness that power as much and as often as possible.
