This document discusses using Facebook as a tool for teachers and students. It argues that Facebook promotes collaboration and real-time communication between teachers, students, and parents. A teacher can create a Facebook page for their class to share updates, assignments, and engage students in discussions. Facebook allows teachers to more easily communicate with parents to discuss students' progress or questions. While there are some risks to using Facebook, the document claims teachers can avoid issues by keeping the page professional and establishing clear rules for participation.

Facebook At Schools: How Professional Teachers Should Use Facebookيوسف العربي
Facebook is a widely popular social network, but more often than not it is wrongly used by teachers. This article will show how professional teachers can properly use Facebook at school.
Social media in the education sector has became popular and proved to be useful and successful. Students’ associations and Universities use social tools wisely to keep the community together, share experiences and achievements and for informational purposes. However, use of social media by primary schools still seems to be, in some cases, frowned upon.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Web 2.0 Review- Facebook
Although the use of Facebook in the school system is a bit a of a controversial
issue, I fully support the use of Facebook in school, as long as educators truly ensure
that they are keeping the profile and conversations completely professional and
school-related. Facebook is a great Web 2.0 application because, it is free, it
promotes collaboration, and allows real time communication. Using Facebook is
simple and, as mentioned previously, completely free of charges.
In the case of a teacher who wants to create a Facebook for their class, they
can start by creating an account, separate from a personal one (if they have one
already). A teacher can create a page specifically for their class. For example, “Miss
Triplett’s 1st grade Class” could be the page name. Once the page has been created,
Miss Triplett can send a newsletter home to parents informing them that the page
exists and encouraging them to become friends with the page. Having parents friend
or “like” the page will promote parental involvement with their child even if they
have a time consuming job because Miss Triplett can post updates and images of the
students’ progress and outstanding work in class. In the case of upper grade level
students, both the parents and students can “like” the page where the teacher can
post class updates or assignments and parents can also stay involved with what is
going on in their children’s education, which is a vital element in success.
2. The Web 2.0 application, Facebook, also promotes collaboration between
people by connecting them with others at any time who are involved in the same
class. A teacher can post a video, link, or image on the class Facebook that will
initiate a class discussion where students can feed off each other’s comments to
build their own opinions or arguments about the topic. This engages a student in
thinking critically but also a discussion with their classmates that can be held
outside the walls of their classroom.
The possibility of real time communication is also a huge plus. Not every
parent can schedule a parent-teacher conference or leave their job at the same time
as a teacher has planning in order to discuss something about their child. People are
very busy and the messing aspect of Facebook is a perfect solution. For example, if a
parent has a question about their child’s grade or behavior, they can send the
teacher a private message through the class Facebook. The teacher will then receive
a notification and respond to the question as soon as possible. Facebook provides an
opportunity to break down some of the communication barriers with parents. Not
only can it enhance communication with parents, it also enhances student
communication. If a student is working on their homework and discovers they have
a quick question, they can send a message to their teacher who will answer as soon
as possible.
As for the dangers involved with Facebook in school, I believe everything is
avoidable. Teachers who create class Facebook’s must be willing to commit time to
keeping up with it, and doing everything in their power to keep it 100%
professional. Set strict rules and share them with students and parents. For
3. example, a teacher could say that after 7:30, P.M. they will not answer any messages
on the Facebook until the next morning to ensure there aren’t any questionable late-
night conversations taking place. Students are using Facebook outside the class for
pleasure, why not take advantage of the opportunities Facebook provides. Because
students are so familiar with Facebook already, it will foster an interest in a new
learning perspective they are not used to experiencing.
