**Workshop Authentic Assessment Activity**

As part of your participation in this workshop, you will create a Facebook group for at least one of your classes. This group will have several components that you need to include. These components are listed below. As a part of this assessment, you will need to use the group with at least one class when you return to your classroom for at least one unit.
 * //Description//**

Required Components:
 * Discussion Board with 5 daily discussion questions. These discussion questions do not need to be 5 days consecutively. They can be spread out over the course of the unit.
 * At least one multimedia presentation about the content of the unit.
 * Daily objectives posted as status updates.
 * Resources posted in the notes component of the course page.
 * Connect with at least one other class that has a page on Facebook. In order to facilitate this, one connection needs to be with another member of this workshop. If you want to add additional connections, you may.
 * Assessment that requires students to interact, either through discussion or collaboration with members of the other class.

Objectives: As a result of the creation and use of this Facebook page, participants will gain the following skills:

 * 2) Using group pages to communicate to students and parents what is happening in the classroom.
 * 3) Using group pages to disseminate course resources to students.
 * 4) Having students create pages to share information with the class.

Final Product: At the end of the unit that is used for the Facebook page, participants will be expected to turn in a presentation that includes the following:
 * Screenshots of the Facebook pages used in the unit
 * Student reactions to the use of Facebook in the classroom
 * Screenshots of the pages that show the connections between the multiple classes.
 * Assignment Descriptions that required students to use Facebook and samples of the pages created by students in Facebook.


 * //Grouping//**

Participants in the workshop will be grouped based on the content that each individual teaches. In the event that no one else in the workshop teaches the same content, areas that are similar will be grouped together to enable participants to provide effective feedback on each others' materials and ideas.
