Final Project Completed

Since the inception of my final project acknowledgement, I have made some changes. As a requirement of my teaching, administration would like me to begin preparing professional developments using social networking focusing on Facebook. I am very excited about this opportunity and I am trying to be thorough. I am submitting three plans:

1. What does your online image say?
2. Using Facebook as an Educational Resource – Part 1 Creation
3. Using Facebook as an Educational Resource – Part2 Reflection

Firstly, my professional development plans are quiet long perhaps due to the combination of my inexperience creating professional development plans and the detail of the tool I chose to teach.

Secondly, I am not submitting a plan covering digital citizenship and internet safety due to the length of my "Using Facebook as an Educational Resource" plans. I felt I needed to break the “Using Facebook as an Educational Resource” into two plans. The first plan, part 1, will discuss using Facebook in the classroom and the Teacher profiles. The intent of part 1 is to get the creativity flowing and to create a teacher profile. Part 2 requires each participant to research the more sophisticated pieces of Facebook and to up the creative ante. Participants will learn about groups, pages and other Facebook tools as well as reflect on their use in the classroom.
