After reading the blog post "8 Real Ways Facebook Enriched Ms. Schoening's First Grade Class" I thought about the ideas suggested that I am already using with my classroom Facebook page as well as new ideas I might try. For example, as the teacher, I am the only one that currently posts on our page on behalf of our class. I never thought about letting my students post to the page, showing it to them, and making them more a part of it...our class page instead of my class page. I have some questions though that were not clear in reading the post. Do the students post via her log in (i.e. "Miss Chapman's Class"), or do they have a seperate log in like "student" or do they each have their own log in to post on the class page? How does that work as they cannot have Facebook being under 13. I'd like to know more about the methods used for having students contribute and post to the page.
I have been using the photo albums to post pictures of students working and learning as well as student work. However, I need to begin to do it more frequently now that we have iPads. I think utilizing the "notes" section for students to publish a piece of writing is an interesting idea for sharing and something I may think about in the future.
