Facebook Educator’s Guide
You may wonder how the Facebook for Educators guide came about …
A few months ago, Facebook recognized that a guide like this was needed. They asked me to write it. I accepted the offer on the condition that I could write without filtering or restrictions from Facebook. Facebook saw the value of a candid third-party opinion and agreed.
Why did Facebook ask me? Well, I’ve written two books about Facebook for parents, and I teach parents, students, and educators about Facebook all over the U.S. But most important, I am the mom of eight children, ages 12 to 27 (and yes – I gave birth to every one of them!). I know firsthand how Facebook affects families, kids, and education.
In accepting Facebook’s invitation, I brought in two other experts – Derek Baird and BJ Fogg. Yes – we were paid for this project, but we were also allowed to tell the truth exactly as we saw it.
Our commitment to you is to provide an easy way to stay updated as changes occur with Facebook. We created this website to do just that, in addition to providing you with even more insights, guidance, and resources.
We hope that you will find this site one of your most frequent stops when you are online.
Happy and safe friending,
Linda
