Do see a connection between
writing for FB and writing for school? Why?
Yes, I can see a
connection between writing for FB and writing for school. In both cases, I have an audience to communicate
a specific message in a post or essay. The
message could explain an issue (expository), tell a story (narrative), articulate
an argument (argumentative) or influence a reader to agree with me on a topic
(persuasive). Although writing for FB and writing for school seems like they
would not have any connection, they do.
The settings are different, but the purpose of the message is the same.
How could FB play a role in
academic learning?
Facebook can play a role in academic learning by providing an avenue for student to connect with an audience to express their thoughts about a topic or personal experience. On Facebook, students have opportunities to use technology to form book clubs, writing clubs, advertise an event, or just connect with their peers. In addition, teachers could have students post interesting stories pertaining to their class discussions or topics from assigned readings. Facebook is just another avenue for students and teachers to communicate and content share.

Beautifully formatted! :) I personally don't see a connection between FB and FYC, but you definitely convinced me that there is one!
