R: That's cool. Have you ever considered using Facebook for
your individual assignments?
M: How?
R: Like posting a status asking your Facebook friends to
take a survey for class or posting an essay question as a status to get friends
feedback?
M: I have asked
through a Facebook status, to help me with an essay. I remember one specific
event when I had to write a paper on teaching resources, and I wrote a status
saying “Does anyone know good resources for teachers?” and I got a a variety of
answers to help me with my paper and they gave me great resources I could use.
R: Oh okay I remember I did that too except mine was
regarding junk food in public schools. I also got a lot of good answers that I
put into my essay.
M: Yeah I would usually only use Facebook to get opinions
though, I wouldn't relay on my friends to give me straight facts, I do my
research for that.
R: Yeah I definitely understand that. I know you're an
elementary ed and psych major. Do you use Facebook mainly for your education
classes or you psych class?
M: I use them to help me with mainly my education classes
because I can get a lot of input about different topics from different people.
R: So I guess you're friends with a lot of prospective
teachers on Facebook?
M: Yeah I'm friends with a lot of people that are in my
classes so I usually get feedback from them.
R: Oh well that's good that you can relay on them to help
you.
M: Yeah-
