Entry #12 Powerpoint Lesson On Using Facebook as an Educational Tool

I decided to create a Power Point presentation on how Facebook, could be used in the classroom. I was fascinated, to see that, Facebook can be utilized as a learning tool. It's all the rage with everyone these days and I thought I would share it's functionality. I think, when used appropriately, it could lend itself to being a good educational tool. One that will motivate students to learn and feel they can relate to the lesson, because they are using it already. I enjoyed this lesson the best, because I was able to use some of the skills I learned in previous assignments. The Web has definately changed the world as we know it. For the better, I think. Check out the following link that gives you information on using Facebook in the classroom.
