[|Facebook Information for Parents and Educators]

Other info.: Facebook offers several options that will allow you to do this:
 * As an educator, how can I maintain a professional presence on the site separate from my personal profile?**
 * [|Create a friend list] specifically for your students. This will allow you to control which parts of your profile are visible to your students, keep track of the list’s activity separately, and send bulk messages — like homework assignments and invites — to the group all at once.
 * [|Create a page] — //Ms. Smith’s 9th Grade Science Class//, for example. Pages are great for broadcasting information to people on Facebook. Pages are free, you can control them with your personal profile, and they keep your profile separate from your students. Anyone who "likes" your page will automatically receive updates.
 * [|Create a group] where you and your students can connect, share, and collaborate — //American Literature 101 Discussions//, for example — or a group where educators in your department can collaborate on lesson plans and share ideas.
