Enriching Technology.

Idea: Set up Facebook groups for Every teacher.

Subjects : All subjects

Details: Set up a facebook group for every teacher. Facebook groups would be voluntary (or the teacher could make a list of students who have joined and make it mandatory). Updates of tests, quizzes and assignments would appear on the students' newsfeed. Lessons and Handouts could be uploaded to the group for the student to browse at their leisure.

Technology required:
Computers and Internet.

Pros:
- Handouts and Lesson Powerpoints can be uploaded to the group.
- Reminders for Tests and Assignments can be easily seen on the students' newsfeed
- The number one time-waster for most students is facebook. May as well give them an oppurtunity to do somethign a little productive.
- No student can say "I forgot"

Cons
-Not everyone has facebook. However, the handfull that don't can easily set one up.

People required to make this work
-Teachers to manage the group
-IDC Students to teach them how to do stuff/ set it up
-Willing Students
