NETS Facebook Group

On our fourth day of class we were instructed to join a group on Facebook.com. The group, Web 2.0 and Schools, was created by the instructor to facilitate discussion about the use of technology in the classroom. During the class period we were instructed to read and comment on two things she had posted on the groups wall, an article about informal language online and a video about technologies effects on our generation. The informal language article became important when she told us that we could use less formal language on the Facebook group, as we were all probably used to doing. In out responses to her posts we would be able to use texting shorthand and sarcasm. This assignment met ISTE standard 3 by allowing me to demonstrate fluency in new technology and collaborate with my peers.
