Facebook

[|trucoos] Hello Facebook Group

My name is Nell Eckersley and I will be the facilitator for our group on how to use Facebook in education.

We’ll communicate by Facebook. If you do not already have a Facebook account, please create one at Facebook. Once you have a Facebook account, please search for the **Facebook** **group** **“Facebook in Adult Education.”** We will also use a **Facebook page called “Facebook in Adult Education,”** so we can explore the differences between these two types of Facebook accounts. If you have any trouble setting up your Facebook account or joining the group or page, please feel free to contact me directly at NellE@LACNYC.org.

Small Group Expectations:


 * Participate – no watching from the sidelines. Please communicate with your small group members on your experiences using Facebook, what works well for you, your challenges, and how you might use the tool in teaching or professional development.


 * Small group members will collaboratively write responses to these guiding questions:


 * What were some successes you encountered learning and using this social media tool?
 * What were some considerations or challenges you faced?
 * What are your recommendations for using this tool in teaching or professional development?
 * For what purpose(s) – if any – do you plan to use this tool in your practice?

This group response will be shared back during the culminating discussions August 2 – 6 on the Professional Development ([] ) and Technology ([] ) Discussion Lists.

Please be prepared to participate in those discussions, to share your reflections, successes, challenges, ideas.


 * We will make our final product, a Facebook group and a Facebook page, as well as any document sand resources we share during our time together, available on the Wiki Marian created for us (http://aalpdgroup.wikispaces.com/Social+Media+Projects) so that we can revisit our learning and share our work with others.


 * Please plan time so that you can participate as fully as possible. We want to learn from your experiences and the expertise you bring to our forum.
