Nowadays, students are signing into their Facebook accounts more than they're doing their homework. If you can create an account that your students can follow, you can share information and important reminders with them quickly, and you can be sure they're getting the message. If they need help in doing their homework, they can go to your page and easily asked you there. If they need an extra reminder to study for a big test, they'll get it by looking at your updates or checking a message from you. If they have a question that isn't answered on the site, they can message you on Facebook.
