Using Facebook for Education

Learning from Face Book

Yesturday on my personal Facebook account I had to change my status update.

I thought to myself, “self, you can use facebook for teaching.”   Little did I know my friends would take it to another level. Thank you friends.  The names have been blocked out to protect the not so innocent.

We are trying to cover all the subjects

After ruling out Cornholio and Coronary ( which were teaching experiences in itself)  TW explains what it actually is.  Also Google failed, it was owned by TW and her educational exploits.

Wow. Just wow.

Here’s what wikapedia had to say straight off the page.

“Evil eye” is also know as “Mal de ojo”. Mediterranean cultures and many others around the world experience the concept of “Evil eye”. The symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea, constant crying. It usually affects infants and children. However, adult females can also be affected. Reference: American Psychiatric Association. (2000). Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (4th ed.,rev.). Washington, DC: Author.

NOT EVEN MAKING THIS UP PEOPLE !!!

I think #5 was probably the most important.

So as you can see in just 1 thread of face book. We covered

Math, Spelling, Culture, Social Studies, Google Fail ( that’s a subject right?), Social Interaction ( used to be recess ),  Debate,  Philosophy, and finally Pop culture.  This was definitely a well rounded educational experience.

No go load up for the bus, and don’t forget to bring me an apple I give A’s to the kiss ups.
