Reflection:
In my personal opinion, there are many ways we can implement Facebook and other
social media for educational use. One way is by creating a Facebook group for your
class to have a discussion board. In addition, teachers should post different articles that
the students can access. Currently, I am working in a high school and students cannot
access Facebook in the classroom. However, when I was in college there were many
courses that used Facebook. My Human Sexuality course used Facebook to create a
group that all students could join. We discussed many topics and would ask questions
and help each other will different assignments throughout the semester. We would also
setup study groups before each exam. This way we would all be prepared the day of the
exam.
In terms of my research, I have to agree with the results. There are many different uses
of Facebook for education. I also agree that there are some disadvantages as well such
as being a distraction.
During my days in college, the professors would create groups for us on Facebook. The
professors were all very active users of Facebook. One instance, I had come down with
a fever and was not able to attend class. The professor posted all the required materials
that were discussed in class that day. Also, other students in my class left comments to
help me understand the material. Overall, my experience with Facebook for education
has been positive.
I would definitely implement the research that I have found about social media. I would
implement it by setting up a Facebook group page for my college counseling class so we
can discuss different topics about the college application process. I would also post
different articles and worksheets that students could use while filling out their
applications. I would also post quick links to the Facebook group for different websites
such as FAFSA, US News, and College Board.
