I think that this idea is ready to go as is, however, when we teach them how to use this, we need to emphasize that the Facebook Group is used purely for reminders and getting missed sheets. Perhaps a discussion room could be opened, but we must take care that no teacher plans to use it for some activity that requires everyone's active attention, since as Paul pointed out, facebook is distracting.
I'll start talking to my teachers if they'd like to implement a facebook group and set aside some lunch time to walk them through it.
Hopefully from the ones that agree, I'll start an interest within the school so that more and mroe teachers want one. if there is a big enough demand, we could even hold workshops for teachers explaining the intent, usage and possibilities of Facebook.
