Facebook for school


Facebook on school
The 27 year old CEO, which may be a college drop out Mark Zuckerberg but a billionaire, is strongly has a passion about the education reform in the country. Recently he summit on the innovation of in education which is a very brilliant idea. "Education is clearly the biggest thing that will drive how the economy improves over the long term," Zuckerberg said. "We spend a lot of time talking about this." Last year Zuckerberg solemnly promised $100 million to the school system in Newark, New Jersey. Zuckerberg said that it would be a good idea to have the younger kids to be allowed on social networking sites like Facebook. Currently, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) mandates that websites that collect information about users (like Facebook does) aren't allowed to sign on anyone under the age of 13. But Zuckerberg is determined anyway that will be changed. "That will be a fight we take on at some point," he said. "My philosophy is that for education you need to start at a really, really young age." But how would facebook a social networking be a good place for under 13 year old learn? The CEO said the learning process not yet begun, but once all the under-allowed age are started to get on that they will start with the process.
