Abstract :
The most popular social networking site (SNS) Facebook gets new users every day and because of this incredible spread of the network, we explore an option of including different features of Facebook into courses. There are many ways we can connect with students through Facebook and by that we use time outside course hours to communicate with them. We also expose privacy issues that appear while using this SNS. Facebook can be used as a supplemental tool in courses, because it is an environment students feel familiar with.
