FACEBOOK FOR TEACHING


How Could We Use Facebook to Teach Writing? 

Reading and Writing are interlinked. Reading messages, friend’s requests, notifications and going through a friend’s profile would develop one’s reading skill. Through reading, students can acquire information, knowledge, a large vocabulary and a good command over the language. The more a person reads, the more effectively he will write. Writing blog, paragraphs, essays and stories can be implemented. This will improve one’s standard of writing as it is a process of creation and not a mechanical production. In Facebook, writing on the wall is one special feature. This enhances a person’s writing skill and helps a learner to establish a healthy rapport with one’s peers. The instructor can also tag pictures and ask students to comment on it. This will sharpen their observation skill and critical thinking.
