Updated Facebook Template

For the last couple of years, we've been using a PowerPoint Facebook page as a final product for a research unit.

When we used the template last year, my students were quick to point out that the template was "old school" - Facebook has made major tweaks to the layout and design of its site, which weren't reflected in this version.

This year, I finally got around to updating the template to reflect Facebook's current look. Click here to download the  new template for PowerPoint 2010. No, it doesn't have the timeline interface (I'm not using it yet on my own personal Facebook page, so I don't feel comfortable enough trying to recreate it), but otherwise it reflects many of the recent design changes. It is hyperlinked, so when you're in "View Show" mode, you can click on "Wall," "Info," and "Pictures," and go directly to those parts of the PowerPoint - making it behaving like a traditional Facebook page.
Heads up - I did customize parts of the template to meet our research project needs, like adding a "Resources"/"Favorite Sources" section to the Info page, and including captions underneath photos in an album.

[UPDATE: Here's a link to download the rubric we used to grade the project. Obviously, you'll need to modify it for your own needs.]

[UPDATE 5/1/12: Here are more versions of the page, plus the "extras" we use to support the projects:
