Facebook for Networking

I have recently been using Facebook as more than just a social tool. I have found a number of excellent teaching pages that offer great ideas that can be used in the classroom. One page, Relief Teaching Ideas, provided a link to History programs that are aligned to the Australian Curriculum and organized by year groups. Each program outlines the outcomes and objectives for each year, skeletal structures for lesson planning and related literacy for further investigations. I was really impressed with this resources and will definitely be putting it into my teaching resources for later use in the classroom. Links to pages like this on Facebook also provides access to specials and quality teaching resources that I would not have found otherwise. And there is also the bonus of these pages being focused on Australian education, not American, which can be hard to find on the net.
Having seen what Facebook can offer me at a professional level I am keen to explore this further and build up my network of resources. Hopefully I will be able to post a list of links to Facebook for teaching resources in the coming weeks. Stay tuned....
