• Great as a quick review or an exit slip
• Kids are engaged
• Note for teachers- answers are anonymous (pros and cons to this)

What is an App?
• The term “app” is short for the word “application”
• An app is a program that has been created to improve the functions of a device, or to provide a device with new and useful functions
• Mobile apps can be downloaded onto a smart phone so that students can use them in class or at home

What is Social Media?
• Social media is a social instrument of communication.
• Using social media means that you are not just getting information, but you are interacting while getting information
• Traditional media is like a one-way street- you can read a newspaper or listen to a report on television, but you have very limited ability to give your thoughts on the matter
• Social media is like a two-way street- you have the ability to communicate.

• Facebook is the King of Social Media
• It’s free
• Your kids likely have an account that they check often

• You can create a Facebook Group for your class
• Completely separate from your own personal Facebook account- when you post to this page you post as the group’s name (ie- “Calgary Catholic English Class”)
• Allows students to communicate with their peers in an authentic way
• Allows for fun projects that look at elements such as characterization, relationships, plot, conflict, setting, etc.
