She would have to pull him aside for “the facebook group shot” By the end of the year, he even knew the routine and removed himself at times. My wife had one student last year who was not allowed and she literally had to do 2 sets of pictures / videos every time there was a group opportunity. But if you do get a child who cannot be posted, you’ll need to ensure he/she is not in any pictures or videos. Most parents won’t care, and will actually want their kids to be posted for them to see in the group / class. This can be a PIA, but when dealing with privacy, it needs to be covered. Here is the official FB help section for more info: and Get Permission FirstĮven though the group is Private / Secret, not every parent will want their kids to be photographed / videos for posting into the group. There is also a “Hide Group” section and you’ll want to choose “ Hidden” which means only members can find the group if they search for your group on Facebook. Now there are only two: Public and Private. UPDATE 2020 – in mid/late 2019, Facebook changed (and simplified) its Group Privacy options. Those are good and serve their purpose but I like Facebook because: it’s super easy (FB does a good job at making “social” fairly easy), very popular (who isn’t on Facebook?) and it’s one less app/password to have to deal with. Shutterfly is a good sharing site, but it’s a bit clunky, not much of a “social community” to it and a bit foreign. ClassDoJo is alot like Facebook in how it works, how it looks and what it can do. ClassDoJo is one of them, and Shutterfly is another. There are other apps which have been around for a while and are popular. It’s more engaging as a community and comes with other features. A group on the other hand is designed around community and can be made private, etc. While your classroom could have a page, it’s not likely and I don’t recommend it. (Note there is no /group/ in between facebook and the name). A page is more like a website – commonly used by businesses, brands and organizations. A page is public in nature, does not allow for much community or engagement (outside of likes and comments) and users aren’t notified if something happens on a page. It’s important to know that we are creating a Group, not a Page.
