3:00 PM - 4:00 PM = Facebook and Education

Liz, Vaughn, and Barry are designing a class to be offered to teachers (5 times before Christmas) that will better prepare them to handle Facebook at school. This class will be designed so that Librarians can replicate the class at their campuses. Librarians do NOT have to have a Facebook account. Librarians DO need to be able to discuss the issues surrounding Facebook.

 

Divide into groups (HS, MS, two Elementary) and discuss these 5 statements:

 

1.      Examples of how Facebook could be used appropriately at school.

2.      Teaching appropriate digital presence on the social networking web. (Bulletin Board, privacy settings)

3.      What are appropriate and what are inappropriate uses of Facebook.

4.      Issues around teachers monitoring the computer screens.

5.      Suggested consequences for inappropriate use of Facebook.

 

Share what your group would recommend for each of these 5 statements.

 

Questions?

See you at our next meeting: Monday, December 8th, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at  Frostwood Elementary Library
