Is Facebook required for class

Question:

Are we required to set up a facebook account if we don't have one already?

Answer:

No, you do not have to create or use a Facebook account for our class. Facebook is one of the optional communication platforms we are using this term. Most of the information shared there automatically is also available other places in our course, like on this blog. Having a course Facebook page simply provides another venue for that information to be shared, and if you use Facebook already (or are interested in getting started with Facebook to learn about it as a communications environment) it will hopefully be beneficial for you to see our course information there as well.
