The Facebook Thing...

This year we've really seen the affect of Facebook on the school...

As you may or may not know, Annalivia School has, as well as the Adult School, 2 Junior centres. In these centres we have students from the age of 10 to 17. In the past 4 weeks, we've seen a HUGE increase in the number of people that have joined our facebook group. These students have then gone on to makesub groups about absolutely EVERYTHING... There's groups about the particular brand of Orange juice we give them, about the cheese and onion crisps, about the funny looking battery bins and on and on and one.

It's great to see that the students are keeping in touch and they are posting all kinds of photos and videos of their stay which is brilliant to see.

On the negative side, it's a little worrying as we've had groups of students arriving that have "met" past students of the school by Googling or "facebooking" the Annalivia name and they've arrived already knowing security codes (for doors etc.). It's not a big issue, as we change the codes every 2 weeks, but still, the internet is a pretty amazing place.

Please feel free to add us as a friend or join our group (search for Annalivaschool inDublin).

In the meantime, here's a sample of one of the videos I found on Youtube:
