Homework:

1. Blog Entry - Facebook on Campus

The Christian Science Monitor published an article titled Facebook: A campus fad becomes a campus fact in which they state that "the social-networking website isn't growing like it once did, but only because almost every US student is already on it." Read the article and make a brief blog entry about Facebook as a social networking tool in a university environment. Do you use it? Why and how might it be useful for college students, socially or academically?

Add a link to the article at the end of your entry. (5)
