Today's 21st Century Classroom



My 4th block working on questions about Facebook

Let's look at Google Docs. Click on the link below to find out more information.

Introduction to Google Docs

How Facebook Works

Think you can't teach your students about Facebook....Well you can teach them the basics, obviously without access at school you can't see the finished product, but consider using the following worksheet and have them search for these items. You can get all of the answers to these questions on http://www.howstuffworks.com/ I would not share this site with the students right away. Make them serach using Google. Some may already be aware of the howstuffworks site and some may discover it on their own.

After this questionnaire, you can then ask they some "Essential Questions" about the appropriate use of Facebook.

Download the worksheet her from my google docs account. You can do so by selecting "File" and "Download" as. You may choose from many formats.
