Introduction to Facebook Groups
http://youtu.be/I6ud_SZARCs
Facebook Groups
Facebook Groups (facebook.com/groups) are online spaces where people can
INTERACT, SHARE and COLLABORATE with others.
You DON’T NEED TO BE FRIENDS with someone to interact with them in Facebook
Groups.
Use Facebook Groups to provide students with ON-DEMAND and MOBILE
LEARNING opportunities.

Learning Beyond the Classroom!
“Think of Facebook Groups as an opportunity for you
to extend learning outside the walls of the traditional
classroom. When you use Facebook Groups to
compliment what you teach in the classroom, you are
providing students with on-demand and mobile
learning opportunities.”

What is Twitter?
A free Web 2.0 social networking service that allows
users to send and receive short messages (140
characters or less) known as TWEETS.
Easy way to discover the LATEST NEWS related to subjects you care about.
"Whereas people might spend a long time composing a comment to a blog post or engage in lengthy, in-depth
conversation on a discussion board, Twitter invites more in-the-moment interactions. It provides an easy way to
maintain connections, share thoughts, or ask for advice." - Jane Bozarth
Twitter is…
User-created communication
– Text
– Links to web pages, images, videos
– Trending topics
Multi-directional
– Simultaneous 1 to 1, 1 to many, many to 1
Time-independent
– Features such as @replies and #hashtags enable asynchronous communication

What is a Twitter #Hashtag?
"The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark
keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically
by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages"
Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets in that category. Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet. If you tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find your Tweet. Use hashtags only on Tweets relevant to the topic.
