"Bulletins" and "Updates"

Both MySpace and Facebook have features that allow users to post “bulletins” or “updates” that students will see immediately when they log onto their page. Lecturer can post information pertaining to homework, such as “Don’t forget that your thematic essay is due on Friday,” or clarify project directions, like “your book report should include three symbolic images, along with explanations”. Students can also message lecturer to ask questions about homework and due dates through the email functions on both pages. The websites are great ways for students to ask questions outside of the classroom; students who would otherwise be too shy or uncomfortable to ask questions in the classroom setting.
