Whether you love it, hate it, or just don’t get it, Facebook is a major social channel in the U.S.
Facebook is easy to use and has a huge user base (40 million). It is growing rapidly. Facebook has many positive features and applications. The ability to communicate & share with numerous people, from your closest friends to high school acquaintances is captivating. I’m on it (this is not a shameless ploy for friends).
More importantly your students are on it.
Facebook has just crafted a Facebook Safety for Educators page:

It is helpful, insightful, and easy to use. Did you know that Facebook posts a policy banning children under 13? Do you know what you can do about children under 13 with accounts? Do you know the ins & outs of Facebook account security settings? What options do you have regarding harassment & cyber bullying? Follow the above link for that information and much more.
