I have been blogging and commenting on here, but I was wondering if all the commenting, postings, and messages I have done on facebook will count for anything? Just wondering. If they don't then that's ok, but I was just thinking about how I communicate more effectively with our group via facebook since everyone checks it religiously.

Just let me know and thanks!

that as a class we should get credit for postings made on facebook. Since our English wiki site is where all English students in Mrs. West-Pucketts can read others blogs, postings, et. Where facebook is restricted to accepting the friends that you want and not accepting others. It would be unfair since not all the students would have equal access to these postings that are on facebook. In the beginning of the semester the ground rules were laid out for all students. We all agreed to them by signing up and sticking with this class. I do realize that things change and some exceptions to all rules are, and can be made but this is not one that I would agree with. Facebook/myspace is for socializing with friends. Wiki is for editing, posting, revising, writing things for our class, our research projects, et. Wiki should be what counts not other websites.
