Facebook is one of the internets most popular websites to date. In less than ten years Facebook has accumulated over one billion users. Facebook was initially made for students who attended Harvard University to navigate and find each other but quickly escalated to other colleges in the area. It gradually started making its way to other colleges around the country and is now open to anyone who is the age of thirteen and older. People today use Facebook to connect with friends, update their statuses, post pictures, and express themselves in ways that you are unable to do in person.
Have you ever thought about using Facebook to help you in college? This is a question that I have been pondering. Throughout the years of my navigation on Facebook not only have I noticed pictures and status being posted about a persons social life but I have also seen people post statuses asking their friends to answer surveys or they would post a question asking for advice on a topic related to an assignment they had. I have also been invited to many "events" on Facebook asking me to fill out surveys to help college students in their classes. I have used this method myself to help me on class assignments. I needed opinions on a certain topic I was writing a paper about and posted it as a status on my Facebook page. I received an ample amount of opinions and used what people told me on Facebook in my essay.
In this paper I plan on looking at other people that have used Facebook to help them in class assignments and whether it has been helpful or not. In my experience using Facebook to help with class assignments I have found it extremely helpful. I feel that because most of my Facebook friends are my age they can relate to the assignments I have. Asking other students opinions can be beneficial because they may feel about a certain topic the same way as you do but at the same time open a door to different opinions and different points of view on a topic.
These are the references I will be using
I have not yet conducted my interview but I know who I will be interviewing and plan on having it in the next few days.
