To Whom It May Concern,
Facebook is one of the worlds largest social networking sites. After I polled my high school classes, I discovered that 100% of my students have a Facebook account. Out of those students, about 95% of them check their account at least once a day. Facebook could be a valuable resource for students and teachers who want to connect and talk about mathematics. I created a group called "Students" under my own Facebook account as a test to see what kind of privacy settings I could set. I think if Facebook had the ability to let the admin(teacher) see all posts for approval, then it could be very valuable.
Teachers need to uphold the CIPA and COPPA laws in order for a site to be used in the classroom. If teachers had the ability to create a group for their classes and be the "filter" for the class, then I think Facebook would be able to be utilized more ofter in the classroom.
Sincerely,
Kristen McCuen
