Using Facebook as a workspace to extend class discussions is an excellent use of social media by teachers! Thanks for sharing your experience.

For older age groups (high
school and up), it’s definitely worth the use…

I know of a few schools
that are already using Facebook in this capacity for teachers to post
homework assignments. The interesting thing is that the homework is based
on a class discussion on the topic
- directly on Facebook – kids who don’t post or post lame things get F’s for the assignment,
while anyone else gets Pass. It’s an interesting experiment and the
kids seem to enjoy it (but that’s one school and a handful of teachers).I think it could be a good resource for the classroom, just like other tools. However, like many things in this country it will probably be abused or mis-used by someone and everyone will be condemned, which will result in it being over-regulated or banned denying a valuable resource for teachers to connect with students and work learning into “everyday life.”

Thanks for the great insights, Lisa. I agree that there are so many applications of social media in education…unfortunately we may be in the minority, at least for now, but someday we may be thought of as cutting edge!

Thanks for sharing my quote and bringing this topic up with your readers. Innovative educators have no problem communicating with students in their worlds using their preferred method of communication. If a teacher fears communicating with students, I’d fear having that teacher work with students. If an administrator fears having their teachers communicate with students I’d question that administrator’s ability to effectively hire. Relationships are among the most important role that students value in their teachers. As the saying goes, before I care to know, I must know you care. A primary role of the 21st century educator is to let students know they care in their worlds. I write about this often on my blog in posts like Kids and teachers are interacting. Everybody panic… http://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/2010/12/kids-and-teachers-are-interacting.html

Preventing teachers and students from communicating defies common sense and reason. Communication and relationship building is one of the most important roles of an educator. If we are afraid the educator will act inappropriately, we must deal with the behavior of that educator and remember the tool has no intent.

Districts that have such a distrust of students and teachers must take a step back and take a hard look at the real problem at hand. When the message is “I trust you” real learning can begin like it does at my friend Michelle’s school http://vimeo.com/28690609
