Educational uses of Facebook
Hi, I have a number of students interested in researching the educational uses of Facebook. They are interested both in informal, creative, outside-the-classroom uses by students, as well as the way teachers are including Facebook in their courses. They are interested in both K-12 and post-secondary uses of Facebook. I've pointed them to dana boyd's work, but I'm not aware of much else. Can anyone point me to a bibliography or some key resources? Thanks! Chris
I try to keep everything that I know about SNSs up here: http://www.danah.org/researchBibs/sns.php It's most definitely not complete, but it might give you some pointers. (And for those of you who are working on research related to SNSs - or Twitter - please add your articles to these bibliographies! There's a self-serve option called "submit new citation") danah On Nov 10, 2011, at 7:25 PM, Chris Werry wrote:

Funny that this subject is coming up this week. Two weeks ago I set up a discussion thread on one of my Facebook pages so that my students could interact with the author of a book I've required them to read. Last week the students began populating it and the discussion really began to flow. There was much student participation; they were thoroughly enjoying the experience of actually hearing from the author. Unfortunately, mid-discussion, someone from Facebook decided to deactivate the discussion thread function on its "pages" feature and our educational use of facebook was debunked. However, the educational uses of FB continue to present themselves. What did we learn from this venture, eh? For one, corporate involvment in the educational process gives corporations control instead of the professor. Next, technological trends come and go but nothing beats face-to-face interaction. What else was educational about this process? See you in New Orleans!
