Abstract
The use of Facebook as a formal classroom tool continues to increase as educators innovate and experiment with its implementation. Most research studies describe Facebook incorporation in the higher education classrooms where it has been used as a learning management system or a discussion board. But what are student perceptions of using Facebook in formal learning, and what emotions and meaning arise as students think through such an experience? We asked 60 students to share their perceptions through a reflective process concerning the use of Facebook as a learning tool in coursework. Looking through the philosophical lens of phenomenology, the researchers made meaning of the social media reflections and arrived at the essence of students’ emotional experiences. At the core is the fear of giving up individual human rights of choice within one’s personal life.
