Homework 3

Homework 3
Facebook Class Announcement Pages
Deadline to sign up - see COURSE CALENDAR - This semester we will use the Face book Page for course announcements. Sign up for the class face book PAGE - a Face book PAGE is different from a FACE BOOK group -when I see you as a Fan of the site you will receive your grade . If you sign up with an alias which is not your name them email me what alias you are using.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Social-Work-300-Computer-Applications-FA09/109480380535

You will probably see students who took the course before and this may help you to get an idea of how much "interesting" SOWK 300 can be!

Blackboard and Facebook Page for Course Information

We will be using Blackboard and Facebook Pages this semester Blackboard is used to check your grades, submit assignments and participate in the online component of the course.

All notices, class cancellations and supplemental materials, discussion boards and other important information for this class will be available on Blackboard and a Facebook PAGE.
I am adding the Facebook PAGE this semester since many students report that they check facebook more than their email! I will not e-mail you every time something important is posted to Blackboard/Facebook. I will often post things a day or two before a class, so the best practice is to check BLACKBOARD AND the FACEBOOK PAGE daily. Participation and discussion are important components of the learning process, I strongly encourage you to get involved in the Blackboard Discussion Board area and/or the Facebook PAGE.

if you have a course related question, please post it on the appropriate “thread” in the Discussion Board section of Blackboard or the Facebook PAGE Discussions.

To join the SOCIAL WORK 300 Facebook PAGE go to the link below (this link is also in Blackboard) and become a Fan.

About Facebook Pages
‘Facebook Pages’ can be created for any entity such as a club, youth council, youth project etc. Unlike groups which have ‘members’, and which are only visible to logged in Facebook users, most of a ‘Facebook Page’ can be visible on the wider internet to those without a Facebook account, and have ‘fans’.

Facebook Pages have two walls, one of what the Page owner writes, and one just for fans to write their own messages. Like a normal Facebook profile, Pages have tabs that uncover more information.

  4. I really like this assignment the most so far.. It is also a good way for the class to communicate with others outside the classroom and we can also chat with people who already took the class. This is a good one Ms. Mcarthur.

  8. Since I was already a member of Facebook I simply liked the group. I didn't even know it was a homework assignment until I saw that my grade had already been posted for it. =)

    If this isn't an "easy grade" then I don't know what is. I did it without even knowing I did it. Go figure.

  9. I already have an account on Facebook so it made it easy for me to just go in and like the page. The assignment was easy and manageable for those who did not have an account. If you dont have a facebook which is highly unlikely go and get one before you even attempt this assignment
