So we begin the day in our school system with the announcement that students and staff will no longer have access to Facebook at school.
I know that some of you have already set up pages for your classes on Facebook, so this comes as a tough restriction. Facebook is especially appealing to our students because they already use it, so it fits into their world, and that's what we strive to attain with our education system.
Of course, you may choose to continue updating your Facebook page from home, where students can also access it.
However, if you would like an alternative that is available at school, you may want to create a Ning network, which I have explained previously on this blog. It is very much like Facebook. The good thing about Ning, is that you can make your network private, so you don't have to worry about security issues for your students. I have used it with two online classes, and the students like it. We have used it here with a few classes, and those students also really like it, and so do the teachers.
If you need help with a Ning, let me know.
