I have used Facebook to update the community about the Lindbergh Wrestling team. I've found it very easy to use and anticipate using a different page to update students and parents about the details of my social studies classes. I'm still a little fuzzy on all of the aspects of facebook. For instance, I tried to create a poll to ask members of the community their opinion on a given topic, but had a little difficulty finishing this.
As far as student use of personal devices, I feel like it's an up-hill battle. Only about 5-7 of my students have smartphones that they bring to school. The good news is that those handful of students have used their devices for research as well as to view websites that I have brought up in class.
As time goes on, I assume more students will begin bringing devices that can be used in class. If this is the case, I anticipate using smart devices for a wide-range of activities. I'd really like to begin using Poll Everywhere to find out how students feel about specific without the fear of public ridicule.
