Facebook cont…Week 15
I’ve mentioned before how I’m frequent user of Facebook, but until I started working on my final, I had no idea some of the things the social networking site is capable of. I use Facebook almost on a daily basis. I check it regularly the same as I do my email… but that’s about the extent of it. Until I began researching the site in-depth, I wasn’t aware of the many uses it had for educators, including the numerous apps for both teacher and students. Here’s a list I compiled of the apps found on Facebook…hopefully they will be useful for someone!!
