Facebook is one of the fastest growing public network sites, and in countries like Indonesia, it has become a "must have" tool for Indonesians. We may love or hate public networking, but perhaps using Facebook in a classroom environment could inspire many of your students to learn.
Imagine by encouraging the use of Facebook in class, it could help you enhance and inspire students towards wanting to know more about the branch you teach.

Facebook is not educator or student friendly, but some applications the website uses could help bring the studying environment into the ease zone of your students.
1. Using Facebook Notes
Notes can always be pasted to your own student network, this is easy, and quick. Sharing notes can remind students what they learnt, and they have a handy narrative of what they covered in class.
2. Wikimono
Placing your very own wiki inside your Facebook, could help students share links and facts about subjects you have covered in class. This encourages self-learning and shares a vast range of knowledge based website links with your students.
3. Study Groups
Organizing a study group straight through Facebook, is quite simple. Using the group application, you can share files, photographs and more importantly ideas about a given subject. Students can in effect entrance and contribute as a group member, that enhances their potential to self-study, and brainstorm a subject.
Try not to overuse Facebook, as many students also see the public networking site as their own personal space. This could cause resentment, as many students spend their free time on the website, particularly in Indonesia. However, light use of Facebook, could enhance the studying environment, and allow your students to form self study skills beyond their textbook.
