Facebook Blog

I have mutual feelings about this article. Being a teenager i know that facebook is put to use for communicating with friends and family. The majority of high school kids have facebooks and use them daily. Facebook would be a good way to keep up with assignments and assesments just as said in the article. For example, number five on the ten ways gives good ideas about snow days. If students are unaware of their work due you will be able to check the teachers page and get an assignment. That way can really help students and teachers progress with their materials throughout the semester or year. On another hand, i feel that this could also have some downfalls. Kids are kids and sometimes do not think before doing things. A lot of uneccessary things get posted on facebook but kids including pictures, statuses, comments and ect. Some don't think before posting, or think that there will be no consquences for their actions which is wrong. If people are posting things that shouldnt be posted but have no business to a teacher or anything to do outside of school, they could still be punished if a teacher happens to look at their page and see something. I feel that some, but maybe not all, might take advantage of being facebook friends and turn it into personal issues instead of keeping it school related business. In my opinion, this could be a two way argument, and could be helpful, but also some downfalls along the way. If this was to happen many things on facebook would have to change from kids perspectives.
