I think that it is very interesting that Facebook was one of the suggested communication methods for instructors to use. How exactly would this be helpful for instructors, and have any of you actually successfully used Facebook to interact with you students? Personally it almost seems a little inappropriate because it seems to be mixing too much of a personal sphere with a professional sphere. Hannah

Hi everyone! I am required to reach out to at risk students several times throughout the course to try and get them to engage in the course more actively. However, the problem is that even when I do reach out to the students, they rarely (if ever) respond to my outreach. Have any of you had any luck in successfully getting students to respond to outreach attempts? If so, what were your strategies? Thanks! Hannah
