Using Facebook to teach


I really liked the video that Carmenne posted on her blog so I want to share it with you.
It deals with the using of Facebook to teach. I think that this teacher had a very good idea when she decided to use it in her class. It's very interesting to use a modern tool to work on past events, History. 

Her pupils appreciated to use Facebook to speak about religious leaders, politicians, people who were part of the History. Each of them was in the skin of one of these people. It feels like they were still alive ! They gave them a second life writing on Facebook as if they were speaking themselves ! I think that the project was really interesting because the teacher made it attractive, lively and interactive whereas it could have been boring. 
This is a way of teaching that we could use in our future classes :)
