How Are Teachers Using Facebook in the Classroom?

I think we can all agree that social networking and sites like Facebook and Twitter are not just a flash in the pan. Based on what I’m hearing, and now seeing, teachers are beginning to embrace Facebook in the classroom.

If you are among the growing community of teachers in the groundswell, I’d like to hear your thoughts. How are you using technologies like Facebook and Twitter in the classroom?

This is actually harder than it looks. I was picked out of the crowd and well, you can see the rest for yourself.



I was told that I needed to put my hips into it.
