Facebook Activity

Throughout the semester, we have been trying out an activity on Facebook. The instructors have been posting important questions from each of the chapters, and we as students were supposed to be answering the questions, or liking the answers we feel are correct.

I think the idea behind it is a helpful one. It is to help us as students figure out what is important to take away from each chapter, and to work together to figure out the correct answers. I do not know how well the activity went however, since many of us do not use Facebook regularly or are so overloaded with other things and other classes. I personally admit that I did not participate as much as I should have, because I do not get on Facebook much and when I do get the time to its just to quickly see if someone has sent me a message that may be important. I have been so busy and stressed with work and other schoolwork that this activity was pushed down on my priority list. Also, I try to keep school things separate from social things, so by the time I get around to getting on Facebook, I have a lot of times forgotten about the questions. I did try to answer a few questions and like a few others, but if something like this is done again I will try the participate more regularly. I will not use this type of activity with my students since they will be too young, but posing questions and practicing things that will be on the test is a useful strategy to help even young children.
