WEB 2.0:
FAKEBOOK PAGES
Using fake Facebook pages with your classes
What are Fake Facebook pages?
Students can create a Fake Facebook page as a project
in many different types of classes:
 English - Character (fictional/non-fictional), Author.
 History - historical figure/group.
 Geography - Country page/profile.
 Science - create a page for a certain type of rock.
 Math - formulas, theorems.
 Foreign Language - country, author, historical figure, featured
verb, fictional character.
Who can do this?
 ANYONE … and that
means YOU!
 However, this idea may
appeal more to
teachers in MS or HS
because their students
are on Facebook.
Where do I begin?
 Decide what media you (and your
students) are comfortable using.
There’s something for everyone!
 There are many options available.
 Google Docs Template
 PowerPoint or Word Templates
 Websites
What do these pages look like?
Here are some real-life examples!
