...Student-Teacher Interaction on Facebook: What Students Find Appropriate Is it Credible or Not Credible? New Social Networking Sites (SNS) such as Facebook, and other popular sites, provide teachers with greater opportunities for reaching out to their students. As these technologies develop, there is not a widespread understanding of how they could be best be used in education. Authors Brehane Teclehaimanot and Torey Hickman present information in their article that helps to develop an understanding student teacher interaction using these new technologies, by investigating what students find appropriate levels of student-teacher interactions on Facebook. The results indicate that students find passive behaviors more appropriate than active behaviors with no difference depending on whether students or teachers perform the behaviors. Additionally, men find student-teacher interactions on Facebook more appropriate than women do, while there is no difference between undergraduate and graduate students, also age was not a big factor in finding the interactions more or less appropriate (Teclehaimanot, B. & Hickman, T). After taking in account all information and criteria to evaluate the source, I found this source credible for my purpose of writing. The authors of the article seem to be creditable. They both have Ph.D.’s, and have professional experience in technology, writing, and education. Dr. Torey Hickman served as a doctoral research assistant at University of Toledo....

With thirty districts it is the 9th largest state in the country (155,707 Sq Km) and population wise 11th (36,706,920). It is a state which is rich with all kinds of resources right from minerals, fossil fuel and ores to rich history and culture.

To find out let’s have a closer look at the simple strategies adopted by the prosperous states. My father always said, owning a gold brick does not make you rich.

The new 'it' thing now for a few years has been Facebook. Facebook has become 'the one stop site' for all of your personal needs: communicate with friends and family, share photos, invite members to events, join groups, play games, and meet new people. In fact, Facebook has become so convenient that currently more than 955 million monthly active users at the end of June 2012, take part in the Facebook experience (Key Facts). So what is the typical Facebook experience? Upon logging into www.facebook.com, a page with your news feeds will display on your screen.

So what do you do now that you have all this information? You might...

...Professor Wolfe English 101 16 November 2009 Facebook Facebook is one of the largest online social networking sites in the world. People of all ages and countries use Facebook as a way to communicate with each other. Furthermore, the launch of this site has changed the way we talk to one another, both on a personal and cyber level, in addition to how we are hired for a job. The sudden influx in popularity of the Facebook site has also changed our sense of privacy. We will post pictures of underage drinking and other various illegal or profane actions, but feel that we are not revealing too much because our actions are confined to the privacy of our Facebook friends. We change our profile pictures and post information, all creating an image of how we want others to perceive us. Facebook has changed the people communicate with one another, and privacy should not be a concern when using the site because it is the user’s decision who can access their information. Facebook was created by a man named Mark Zuckerberg. Actually, the term “man” could be used loosely, Mark is a mere twenty-three years old (Newmark). Zuckerberg attended Harvard University and created Facebook in his dorm in 2004 (Newmark). “The first month the site went ‘live’ in 2004, half of Harvard’s undergraduates signed up. Its popularity spread to other Boston-area campuses including MIT, Boston University and Boston College. By December 2004, the number of Facebook users surpassed one million” (Fleming). However...

...2012 The Face of Facebook Facebook was founded by Harvard student named Mark Zuckerberg. Before creating Facebook, Zuckerberg created two other websites. He founded Facebook his sophomore year in college where he later dropped out at the end of the year to run the site. So far, five hundred million people have joined since Zuckerberg founded the social network back in 2004. Even with so many users, Facebook does have its pros and cons. Facebook can have many benefits. One of the major benefits of Facebook is that it allows you to keep in touch with old friends. With moving from Hawaii to Washington, Facebook has allowed me to not only keep in contact with people from Washington but also with my friends and family back home. Facebook helps you keep up-to date with your family and friends lives. You are able to post what school you go to, which sometimes helps you find some of your classmates, pictures, what you are doing, etc. Facebook is not only a social networking site where you just post stuff about yourself, you can also play games, get your daily horoscope, etc. Facebook allows you to reconnect and make new friends. Facebook can also have its negatives. As Facebook allows you to make new friends and reconnect with old ones, it can lead to people making false identities of themselves. Anyone can join Facebook, simple as that. You can be a pedophile, or a stalker, there is no law or rule against those kinds of people joining Facebook. Facebook is pretty good...

...deserve”(Benton). For the most part, I believe that this is true although I believe that sites such as Facebook as well as mankind can change that. For more than 20 years we have had access to the internet and devices that use such a thing, but for such tools, there is false information out there that could be taken down either the users themselves or the social medias themselves as well. People have created these things called “filter bubbles” within social media itself, and this has stopped many of people from differing the truth to the false given information. Both Facebook and readers using such sources have the responsibility to see if that said is indeed factual or if it is a hoax. Facebook’s...
