This week's "website of the week" is actually a Facebook application that lets students study together online. Students can share what they are working on (either by subject or "course code") to create impromptu study groups. Students can work together through "smart chat" for easily typed math equations, or video chat. Soon the website will allow students to share screens between projects.
If properly used, these resources might enhance the use of Facebook as an instructional tool. The site seems to have been designed for higher education, but has potential for High School use.
