Facebook Assignment: Thoughts on following Teacher Magazine: February 26—question about using seniority to base staff reductions March 1—a mobile library of 100+ books on the back of a donkey March 2—story about teachers in Haiti being inspired to overhaul their education system now that their schools have been destroyed March 3—question about if readers agree with the new Gates study about teachers more concerned about reform than they are about salary March 4—update about the mass firings in Rhode Island March 5—story about student, parents, and teachers protesting in California. // Posts contain blog postings for comment. Blog postings come from blogs.edweek.org. I like how it is like Twitter with updates, but allows for easy access for “followers” to comment and share their thoughts and opinions on the topics and questions posted. // Thoughts on following Augustana College: February 26—promotion for upcoming speaker, Mel Antonen and Clean Energy Forum March 1—link to add an Augie fan badge to Facebook profile March 3—notes about upcoming weekend events, link to Augie’s youtube.com channel for highlights on basketball, announcement of poetry collection release // I am disappointed in the amount of postings. This page could be a great means of communication and updates for prospective and current students as well as alumni. I do like the concise events section and the photos. //
