My school has blocked Facebook. It's not the end of the world, and I do understand the administration's concerns. Since I don't see anything changing in the next year, I've suggested that my teachers should use alternatives, including templates, MyFakeWall and Edmodo. The list below covers everything, whether or not you are able to access Facebook in your school. If you have anything to add, please do so. I'm always ready to try new things!
