Facebook still doesn't have a good grouping system, and anyone that is friends with any of your students will see your material. You seem to want a closed system and Facebook is meant to be open and social. I would try searching Google for "classroom management" or phrases along those lines. See what you come up with.

For security reasons, I have to create a closed group, where only the classmates and myself would be able to log on to each other's Facebook pages. Since I have never done this, I am not sure how to proceed, any "step-by-step" suggestions? Thanks! Hello,

Found this blog post via a Google search, thought I'd throw a link you way to an application I am building for Facebook to address this very issue. It's called Tassl and is meant to be a way for students to collaborate on all things academic within Facebook. It currently has up-to-date course information for 50 universities which makes it easy for students to quickly set up their schedule and start connecting to each other, posting assignments, exams, and discussions! It's at tassl.com! Hi there! Found this blog post via a Google search, thought I’d throw a link you way to an application I am building for Facebook to address this very issue.

What I found works pretty good is to have all the students add me, the teacher, as a friend at the very beginning. Make it a 20 point assignment (change value depending on total class points) and make it mandatory. I found that students never really used the group, but I plan to use one next semester. I think it's because students want to feel cool by being part of a group, but they don't actually want to do the extra work required. What you need to do though is create a system for them to use the means of communication. For example, you can't just create a group and expect people to use it. What I am going to do next semester is have my students blog on a regular basis. I won't being doing all that much with Facebook except posting announcements and assignments. Which is great with Facebook because it saves printing time. Two applets you need with Facebook are My Questions and My Files. At the beginning make sure you create an assignment for them to download from your My Files and have the assignment add the My Questions applet and respond to your question you post. If you would like more specifics here let me know. Good luck and please spread the Facebook word! Sorry for the late reply!
