Teacher: Blue Parents: Black P: Hello Mr. Bezanson! I heard from my son that they are using Facebook live these days. what’s that? I don’t think Facebook is good for kid. T: Ms. Wang, Facebook live is a tool provided through Facebook that allows people to stream video in real time. One can view comments and respond to questions from viewers. People can also send likes or reaction while the video is streaming. P: But my son almost on Facebook all the time, it distracts him too much. How Facebook live suppose to help students learn? How you use it in class? T: While it’s still rather new, the school has plans to utilize it for things such as promoting fundraisers or showcasing school events such as rallies and sports games. There has also been discussion of using it to bring in guest teachers into the classroom via Facebook live so the students can interact with them. Unfortunately we cannot control how much students are on Facebook itself or Facebook live outside of school time. P: Oh, so kids could know what’s going on in school lively. Sounds a good way for both guest teacher and students when the teacher can’t come to class. Could students review them? Everyone could access those videos or just teachers and students? T: The videos do stay on the school's facebook feed and can be viewed later if students want to watch them again. For that reason the video’s would be censored and regulated to keep privacy as high as possible. P: But how to protect the privacy? T: The school only friends people who attend the school. In order to facilitate classroom usage each teacher creates an account for their classroom and friends only the students in the class to ensure the video and content is directed toward the intended audience. P: Sounds good. Okay let’s see how it works. Hope kids will get some good stuff! Thank you Mr.Bezanson! T: You’re welcome! Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3ZZzGoRI2o
