New ideas for facebook!

As I was casually sitting at my desk at work, I was asked to create a facebook event for my restaurant. It was then, as I was using our business facebook page that I had an idea for implementing facebook into the classroom (in a way that is controlled and engaging). I am from an English background, but I feel like facebook may have some practical uses across disciplines. Here were some of my ideas:

English/Science/Social Studies (accomodate to grade level):

• Creating character profiles for novel
• Creating classroom group page for discussion
• Creating events based on specific literary movements
• My cohort for the GSE has a page we are all privately invited to that we discuss different GSE events, assignments, event, etc. So something similar may be useful for a specific group of students on the middle school and high school level. 
• Recreating historical events and inviting students to the "Event" that will partake in class, addressing the cultural and social ettiquete of the party. 
• Creating events for citizenship lessons, based around some sort of community issue. 
• Advocating for breast cancer
• Cleaning up the environment
• Exchanging resources on different community service porjects. 

This list is still in the making, but the more I think about its uses, the more valuable I find sites such as facebook to be. I feel like we should take advantage of students awareness of the websites functionality.

I would love some more suggestions on how facebook can be used through page and group options that are provided in the website.
