I teach middle school students, and I am pretty sure that all middle school students are addicted to MySpace and Facebook. One way that I experimented in using this technology to my advantage in the classroom was to have my students create a Facebook or MySpace page for a historical figure. For instance, I had my students choose a historical figure that we had studied throughout the course of American History and create a page for that figure. They had to include songs, video clips, images and stories and poetry that would relate and connect with the historical figure that they chose. My students absolutely loved it because they were using technology that almost all of them were extremely familiar with. They also thought it was cool because it was like they were creating an alternate identity (even though it was a real historical figure's identity). I loved it because the results I saw were very well done, far superior to what I could have pulled off using Facebook or MySpace. The lesson for me was to try to use technology that the students are using...don't force new things on them all the time.
