The temporarily abandoned blog...
It has been quite a long period for this blog has not been updated. If this blog is a pet, I might found it turned to be a skeleton. My lack of time was due to my time spent for updating my new 'pet'. I was really occupied with the existence of a social network online application, the Facebook.
However, I still love my blog and have no intention to terminate it. I involved in blogging when I was doing my undergraduate study. I did a study on the use of blog to motivate ESL students for writing activities. I found that students were interested and gave full participation in the blog-based writing activities.
What about Facebook...?
It has come into my mind recently whether should I start to use Facebook as an instructional medium for my ESL class? There are many things I should take into consideration before I can use it in classroom. The security issue is the main thing. I am not sure about the teacher's security control offered by the Facebook. Students may be exposed to unsuitable contents of other Facebook users, addicted to games as well as being exploited by 'cyber criminals'.
