Simone, I completely and utterly agree.  I have a very difficult time, frankly it doesn't matter even when I change up my live chat times to be more accomodating to different time zones.  Funny though, I will see that they are in the classroom just not attending the chat sessions.  Additionally, some will email me right in the middle of a chat!  This tells me that no matter how many times are email, post announcements and have in the virtual classroom my live chat times they are not paying attention to it!!!  Frustrating to say the least!

I think this a great idea!  Is there any issues with schools not allowing FB participation?  Do you have success with this and what are the pitfalls and/or negative aspects?@zzimbelman
