Using fake Facebook pages with your classes
WEB 2.0:FAKEBOOK PAGES
What are Fake Facebook pages?
Students can create a Fake Facebook page as
a project in many different types of classes: English - Character (fictional/non-fictional), Author.
History - historical figure/group.
Geography - Country page/profile.
Science - create a page for a certain type of rock.
Math - formulas, theorems.
Foreign Language - country, author, historical figure,
featured verb, fictional character.
Who can do this?ANYONE … and
that means YOU!
However, this idea
may appeal more to
teachers in MS or
HS because their
students are on
Facebook.
Where do I begin?
Decide what media you (and your
students) are comfortable using.
There’s something for everyone!
There are many options available.
