A new culture of learning• Educational institutions are no longer a culture of content. They are
becoming a culture of context. Students want to have different contexts to determine what a piece of knowledge means.
• People now have the technological tools to reshape the context, sometimes distort the truth.
• For students we are just the CONTEXT- one of many sources of information.
• we need to completely rethink what our classrooms look like,
• we should understand what the new information technologies give them.

Social networking
Teens & social media – the basic principles:• Understand their world – for teens online life and offline life is just life.
For them social media is an extension of life.
• If you are connected with them on social media, show them the same respect that you show them in other public situations.
• Students under the age of 13 cannot have a Facebook account.
• Keep reminding them to think before they post.
• Become familiar with the Community Standards so that you can help students understand how to conduct themselves on Facebook. (Read more about Facebook Community Standards at https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards)

More about your and your students’ online safety
• Create a Friend List called Students and use privacy controls to set boundaries b-n work life and personal life.
Check out your privacy settings at www.facebook.com/privacy and www.facebook.com/safety
• Create Facebook Groups.
• Discuss Online Safety: Teach students about appropriate online behaviour(e.g. keeping passwords private, never talking to strangers online, treating others respectfully). You can cooperate with your students on the rules and then place this Netiquette on the wall.(Netiquette is a Net Etiquette, a code of polite conduct and safety rules on the net).
• Check Your School's Social Networking Policy. Additionally, notify parents and receive their permission before asking students to join Facebook. Make sure all students are older than13.
• Ask students -- the digital natives -- if they have any creative ideas about ways in which Facebook can enrich their learning experience, both in the classroom and beyond.

Ideas about using Facebook for educational purposes
• Create a classroom discussion/ conversation to extend what students are learning in the classroom
To learn more or create a group go to www.facebook.com/addgroup
• Share Rich Content: Use the Wall on your Facebook Group page to share news clips, interesting articles, Web sites, videos, photos from school excursions, from class projects and so on. Invite students to do the same or just create events.
• Publish short films and give them comprehension questions as some extra homework for a better grade.
• Create a special interests group (kółko zainteresowań)
• Encourage your students to compete within their Facebook group: e.g. ‘Who’s gonna post the most hilarious joke in English’.
• You can also e-mail the group members through facebook.
