facebook

I think facebook would be a great tool to use in the classroom. You could use facebook to have a student present their facebook profile page to the class. You could choose one student for the week to create their profile page and present it in front of the class. This way, they could be spotlighted as student of the week and it would have students and their teacher get to learn more about them. Another way to use this tool would be to have students work in groups and communicate through writing on each other's walls and also instant messaging. All students in the class could add each of their classmates as a friend.
