Just another little Behaviour Management Technique for the Classroom! A class full of Learners with interests in Sport and Football, hopefully will work a treat! Looking forward to putting this into practice! :D

How should we use this page? I'm no expert with Facebook so welcome some input here... Can I make you all administrators? I think so...

I've posted this on Google Communities to get some feedback from the 600+ staff who use it...

Do you use facebook in your department? Any advice and tips on how to do this successfully and safely? I've created a couple of nABLE Pages (using my college facebook account). I can then use the pages to promote to invited people. This seems like a good way to get the department more visible and it's a closed community without the need to be friends with students.

I'm already aware of the need to not accept "friend requests" from students and have it on my profile that I don't accept them. However I feel threre is a lot of potential to engage our learners through the media they're familiar with.

Many of the nABLE team have created LCC accounts through their college email addresses and we now need some guidance / guidelines / inspiration as to where we can go with this. Do we have some College-wide guidance on how to use facebook?

Some uses I've thought of so far. are;

Enterprise Store selling 2nd hand stuff / homemade / upcycled items - managed by students - photography skills, process management, numeracy, English and Enterprise all covered.
Discussion groups - I imagine students are likely to contribute via facebook
Free advertising, building links with the community through promoting the pages
Building progression pathways with employers and 3rd sector providers
So much more...

Please send links to facebook advice, ideas, comments, warnings...

Google+ is a place to discover amazing things and connect with passionate people.
