How do I manage it?
Monitor• Monitor wall posts and comments (delete inappropriate comments)
Respond • Respond to comments that need response from teacher • leave other comments for other students to answer • you do not want to overwhelm them, let them have their space, you will find
that most questions are answered by other students • just monitor and respond when necessary.
Ask Questions• Whenever posting a URL or video or link etc, prefix with a question
