Using Facebook in Education
In conclusion, online social networking sites such as Facebook are great technological tools to implement in the classroom. People simply love Facebook and it has become a world phenomena, with people spending hours a day on the social networking site. Therefore, implementing Facebook in the classroom gives students an opportunity to engage in academic learning while enjoying the benefits of Facebook. Facebook engages students in learning academic content, allows parents to become more involved and stay connected with their children’s academics, and is a way of constructing knowledge which creates a sense of community that leads to higher grades in the classroom.

of learning.
Although the author of this article takes no position on the topic, he provides the reader with examples and views from educators, students, and parents. In a biology class at Lower Merion, taught by Elliot Burch, students created stop-motion claymation videos using iMovie to piece together a fifteen second clip, based on their knowledge on animal behaviors, illustrating excellence in technologically enhanced educational experiences. When senior, Sarah Zimmerman was asked about the benefits of her laptop, there was a positive response when she stated that it helped her to complete a recent chemistry assignment by searching through the online databases, and academic journals which are provided by the Lower Merion school district.
After reading this article, I’ve concluded that the one-to-one laptop program provided by Lower Merion High School, is a fabulous idea, and prepares students for university better than any other method. With the technological advances occurring today, no student in university would be able to survive without a laptop or computer. Professors today rarely use paper, and nearly everything is done electronically from assigning projects, handing out syllables and other types of documents, posting lectures and lessons online, and communication. The students of Lower Merion High School should be thankful of this program as they will be prepared more for university then other students.

The Smartboard program is a very cool, fun, and interactive softwear which is extreemly practical for teaching. I had a lot of fun learning how to use the Smartboard softwear and when I become a teacher, I can see myself using this softwear a lot.
