Facebook In The Classroom. Seriously. | Emerging Education Technology

Facebook In The Classroom. Seriously. | Emerging Education Technology

The post, “100 Ways To Teach With Twitter”, is the most consistently viewed article on this site. Similarly, “Facebook As An Instructional Technology Tool”, resulted in the 2nd most trafficked day here last year. While Facebook and Twitter are both hugely popular Internet tools, I still find myself a little surprised by the popularity of these posts, considering the academic perspective of this site. Teachers are rightfully hesitant to use such popular tools, given their inherent risk of exposing students to inappropriate content.
