2.0 Websites for Educators

[|Badger ProStart Link] A Facebook page dedicated for current and former members of the Badger ProStart Program.

Analysis/Review: This site can be used to social network with both current and former students. It allows you to share videos, pictures, and information with others. It allows for members of the page to also add pictures, video, and information to share with others. It is a fast way to get information out. I find that students are on this site at least once a day. When I make updates it notifies them on their main page so they can then go an check it out. I have also been able to find students whom I had several years ago and now are linked back to the program. You need to keep an open mind when you do use this site as on occassion you may discover things about your students you would've rather not known. But it is a social networking site. I moderate the page so I can filter and eliminate any potentially tasteless material. I can also regulate members of the page. It is private by invitation only. Students do refer others to the page as well. But ultimately I have had no issues with this site page.
