Facebook can be a useful tool for communication in educational settings for several reasons: 1) It allows for fast communication between students and staff, with some responses coming within seconds. 2) It is accessible to most students and staff, who are likely to already have Facebook accounts. 3) It can handle multimedia like images and videos to share examples of student work or information about opportunities.
