I realize making a facebook page would be a great way to stay connected with the students outside of the classroom. I can use the page to post surgical videos for my students to watch and then open discussions for them to ask questions and make comments on the surgeries.
By understanding my weaknesses I can empathize with student apprehension.
All forms of social networking are valid if students are appropriately using techniques
I teach OT and it is common for cohorts of students to have a private facebook group where ideas are shared.
Hi,
I am not much for posting in or reading discussions so I understand when my students say "what email?" when I reference previous instruction. Anyway, I just realized how easy it will be to set-up a Facebook account for my online math class where I can answer specific questions from which everyone can benefit.
We have a discussion portion of our curriculum with required postings but this would be more open and feel friendlier, IMHO.
I will create my page after completing this training.
