WEB 2.0:FAKEBOOK PAGES Using fake Facebook pages with your classes
What are Fake Facebook pages? Students can create a Fake Facebook page as a project in many different types of classes: • English- Character (fictional/non-fictional), Author. • History - historical figure/group. • Geography - Country page/profile. • Science - create a page for a certain type of rock. • Math - formulas, theorems. • Foreign Language - country, author, historical figure, featured verb, fictional character.
Who can do this? • ANYONE … and that means YOU! • However, this idea may appeal more to teachers in MS or HS because their students are on Facebook.
Where do I begin? • Decide what media you (and your students) are comfortable using.There’s something for everyone! • There are many options available. • Google Docs Template • PowerPoint or Word Templates • Websites
