Facebook for Class Project Collaboration & e-Portfolio
Nice to see you here! Location: Computer Lab

Facebook represents some controversial attitudes among administrators, educators and students, not to mention parents. This lesson will cover the important guidelines that teachers need to keep in mind when implementing a Facebook project with their student lesson. Important parameters for Internet safety, privacy settings, and netiquette will be presented as a guiding framework to make Facebook a viable technology tool in the classroom. Online video resources will be reviewed and discussed demonstrating effective ways Facebook can be used for groups, educational applications, and parent involvement in student outcomes, including obtaining parent permission and school technology use policy. Students who are under 13 years of age will not be able to sign up for Facebook pages...yet (Facebook, 2014).
 * Description: **

Objectives:
Learners will identify three exemplary activities for integrating Facebook into student and classroom lessons in their subject or specific curriculum.

Learners will create a profile and privacy checklist for use when implementing a Facebook account for their classroom or class project, through a tutorial created in Google Slides App. Using Facebook.com website, or other Facebook tutorial materials of your choice, collect appropriate screen shots demonstrating the steps for setting up the appropriate levels of privacy and security (under Facebook terms of use at Facebook.com) for your own classroom project Facebook page that will engage your middle school students in presentation and publication, and peer review of their work. (ISTE-T, 2008).

 * “What do I want to learn?” survey from attendees about Facebook. (Google doc link)
 * Program of presentations on exemplary curriculum integration of Facebook into classrooms; handouts of Facebook teacher guides.

Then, working with pod partner (or individually), sketch out classroom topic activity, lesson, and project which you would like to present and allows students to post on a classroom project Facebook page. Review Facebook privacy and security settings regarding who can see the page, who can post to the page, and who can email you. Create a checklist of guidelines for Facebook posting by students and place it is a Google Slides to share with workshop participants.

Solicit peer feedback from workshop partner to assure participants have covered best practices to establishing and securing appropriate privacy settings within appropriate guidelines. Then add three types of "content" or materials which will be informative, instructional, and relevant to your students in your classroom lesson module. Include the privacy checklist, a homework assignment, a research reference needed by students for the project. Secure images or short video examples of work your students have previously created (or use appropriate examples from the Internet), and attach a link to a collaborative document for students to upload homework assignments. Post it where?...Classroom Facebook page. Use appropriate copyright and fair use guidelines.
