Lets get started!

Hey girls. I was thinking that we could piggy back off of the previous artifact on D2L with the ideas that they had for how to use Facebook for educational purposes. Most people know how to use Facebook in general as a social network or advertisement so this would be a different way to have the class look at Facebook and how it can be used. Also Dr. Dietrich had mentioned on thursday that the fastest growing demographic for Facebook users right now is adults. I'm not sure if that would be something we would want to maybe look into as well? Has anyone else come up with any ideas? - Kristan

[|fastest growing demographic on facebook] I think your idea sounds good! I found this website to backup the fact that adults (women age 55) are the fastest growing population on facebook. I think we could use facebook to contact parents and let them know new information about the classroom or activities they are going that week. -Brittany

Kristan & Brittany, I think both of your ideas are great! I think that we need to make sure we address the issue of older facebook users. I was trying to think of ideas of how to do so and I though maybe we could do a skit.Something along the lines of a teacher interview (getting a job) and then the school board members going back and looking at the person who is being interviewed facbebook. At this point we could create a facebook that has negative aspects that would keep you from getting a job. We could then tie this into the older facebook users...any takers??? -Katie

YES.... dont forget about the older folks, they wanna use fb too to be "cool" but do they know what it could cost them? _ Melissa Dantro

[|http://yeahshesaidit.com/2011/04/02/teachers-facebook-and-miscommunication-with-parents/Lets get started!]- this is an example of two teachers that lost the job because of what they posted on their facebook -Katie

Connection to Final Lesson: known- teachers can loose their jobs based off of their facebooks and other material they place on the internet unknown- the new most common age of facebook users -Katie

Soo you know how you can "check in" to places... well if you do this then people know you are not home and can come rob your house. Also if you post about going away for the week on vacation, someone could come rob you also.....
