Changes to Facebook Pages

Facebook recently announced some major changes to Pages, most importantly that all brand pages will now mimic the Timeline layout that has been available for Facebook profiles for some time. Facebook will be automatically changing all Pages to this new format on March 30, so it is definitely time to make the change now and get your Page ready for this new format.

Legal Advice For Online Teaching

Earlier this week I had the honor of sitting in as the resident social media expert advisor for a webinar titled Apps & Web 2.0: Legal Issues in Using the Internet in Class hosted by the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning. This webinar is presented by Dr. Stephanie Delaney from Cascadia Community College and she does a wonderful job of explaining complex issues such as FERPA and privacy issues in using Web 2.0 technology in the classroom. I would highly suggest that anyone on campus who is interested in these issues check out the DVD of the webinar from FCTL.
