Science and the Media 
Science and the media helps us as scientists to focus on promoting the work we do. I would like some feed back about the use of Facebook in the realm of academe. I have just set up a Facebook account for a year 11 Chemistry group, with the aim to improve communication and provoke a collaborative atmosphere. The Facebook idea was a consensus with the class.
What should I post on Facebook to attract students to using this form of communication?
Links to useful sites can also be good – I remember when a friend of mine and I set up a similar thing for our chem study group.
Reminders of when their assignments are due would probably be very helpful so that they meet their deadlines!
Also, photos of class activities and sports days would probably be appreciated.
Encourage them to post any problems they have with the hope that other students will help them out.
