Facebook is always changing and adding things to make it better. One thing that Facebook does, as do many other businesses because of its trendiness, is have applications. Facebook Applications range from silly games to productivity to even educational application. I always thought of apps on Facebook as just games but when I saw the infographic about Facebook last week in another blog post it sparked my interest to check out these "educational" applications further. To my surprise these educational applications aren't just trivia question type of apps, they are applications to help students get their work done, educators to get their information out there, and even programs to publicize events on campuses. These Facebook apps are used for a wide variety of educational purposes.
Here are a couple of neat ones for you to check out:
- Flashcards: With this application you can create flashcards to help you study on Facebook.
- SlideShare: Create presentations to send to students with this slideshow application.
- Rate My Professor: Find out what other students think of professors before you register for their class.
- BookTag: This app offers a great way to share and loan books out to students, plus create helpful quizzes for studying.
- ClassNotes: Use this application to find scanned notes for your classes on Facebook.
This is pretty cool. I wish fb had this when I was in high school. -Ciara
