[How To] permanently delete your Facebook account and stop killing your precious time
Facebook is the biggest social networking website, which is precisely designed to connect the loved ones and exchange the information and emotions of their life with whom they care about. Today’s life on the fast lane requires an alternative way to keep up with the one you care about, and Facebook provides just that.

However, sometimes it washes away the actual target it is designed for. And this is when you need to hold yourself or let yourself off the edge.

If you really want to enjoy your life without spending your precious time on something which is driving you away from actual reason you joined the network at the first time. We will be discussing about killing off the connection with the Facebook permanently.

How to permanently delete your Facebook Account:

Facebook doesn’t offer direct link to delete your Facebook account. However, you can find “deactivate your account” link under account settings>security section. You can use this option, if you’re not 100% sure that you want to permanently remove all that information.

Back to deleting your account permanently.
- Visit the account deletion page.
- You will be reminded that this is a permanent deletion and that your account cannot be reactivated and that none of the content or information you have added can be retrieved.
- Click “Submit.” Follow the steps, such as entering your password, email, and CAPTCHA code.
Now, you just need to control yourself “compulsion to use facebook” scenario and try to tell your mind that you are leading to the better path. Do not log in for the next 14 days and your account will be deleted completely.

If you change your mind before the 14 days are up, just log in and this will reactivate your account.

When you login to your account within the 14 days grace period – facebook will ask for confirmation, whether you want to reactivate your account or keep it under the deletion process. But, I will highly recommend that “Don’t” login to your account again!

[How to] block undesired Facebook game invitation for good
I will admit — I was one of the victim who had probably never spent a single day without playing the CityVille or Farmville at least once.

Then there came a deteriorating moment when 40% of ancestors of online gaming on Facebook started following up with what is more important in life and followed up with ditching this whole time killer crap. We started hating it so much that – even a single invitation from one of our old “gaming friends” irritates us!!!

Let’s dump my individual scenario (however, it is true for most of us) and accept the fact that you don’t like the game invitation at all. If you are reading this article it signifies the same. So, let’s figure out how to block these game invitations for good.

Option 1 : Block it!

If you don’t like a friend of yours sending an invitation for Candy crush, CityVille, FarmVille, Lucky Slots, Dragon City, Hidden Express, Diamond Dash or millions of other apps on Facebook. Actually, you can block any Facebook app – let it be game, social, health or other services.
- Just go to the accounts settings
- Click on Blocking tab
- You’ll find four different level to choose your invitation restrictions – users, event, app or to block the whole app at once.
- You can provide the username, event name or app name.
Option 2: Custom mode

You can also block apps from your previous game/app invitation lists. To use this option go to appcenter and click on requests at the bottom left corner of the page. There you can also block future invites for a specific app, stop a certain user from sending you requests, or both.
- Click on Requests tab.
- Click on “x” as stated in the above image. To block the individual app click on “Block Appname” (where “appname” is the name of the app you are about to block).
- Confirm the app block in the next pop-up window.
Option 3: Block from notification

Stopping the onslaught on game invite notifications is actually as simple as clicking an X button next to the offending notice. Yes, it would be oh-so-nice if Facebook could learn that after clicking “no” 37 times, you don’t want to play. But it’s just not that smart (or maybe it’s laziness), so turn ’em off.

Doing all this game app-blocking business may have put you in a cleaning mood, so why not go the extra mile? Check out the apps you yourself have installed in the past and delete those you don’t use anymore by clicking on the X next to the app. You can also modify the visibility of your app’s posts on your behalf by clicking on the Settings link.

[How To] Delete your Facebook search history

You have a huge crush on one of your friend’s ex-girlfriend and you used to visit her profile so often. You might think that nobody else knows your little secret – other than yourself.

There are lots of similar events you might have searched for – on Facebook which could be little embarrassing if you lookout for it now. You might even don’t remember what you searched in the past.

But, Facebook does…!

Facebook stores every single keyword you searched for in their database. Although, the privacy setting of this section is set to only you, but it might be little kinky to see all your searches stored at one place – even the embarrassing ones.

Here’s a quick step to delete your Facebook search history:

Instructions:

Step 1 – Go to your profile and click on “Activity Log” on the lower left corner of your cover photo.

Step 2 – Click on “more” on the left side of the activity log to reveal the options related to your account. You have to focus on the third column – See Image.

Step 3 – Scroll down the expanded list and you will see “search” as the last option. Click on it.

Step 4 – You can now view your Facebook search history, in date order. To get rid of it, simply click “Clear Searches”

Step 5 – A new pop-up message will apear. Click on “Clear Searches” again – and you are done.

5 Fake Facebook templates and pages for student projects

Facebook is the place that kids hang out after school. Heck, it’s the place many of them hang out during school. It is definitely a platform they are comfortable with communicating on. Why not use student enthusiasm for Facebook to generate learning opportunities in the classroom?

I have seen several classes in the past few weeks work on Facebook projects. Students love them. These projects appeal to students because it is communication at their level. What I like about the project is that creating a fake Facebook profile requires a great deal of higher level thinking. Student have to take information and transform it. This forces students to be very creative. A fake Facebook page is an excellent way to see if student understand the concept behind a book, character, historical figure or even a science concept.

Science might be a little harder, but imagine students pretend that they are a part of a chemical reaction. They could create a profile for a certain compound and tell it’s part in the reaction through the wall posts. This might sound a bit crazy, but I think students would really get into it.

There are several different platforms for doing Facebook projects in the classroom. Here are some I have looked at in the past week:

Fakebook: This online app is the best I have seen. It is web based and easy to use. Students fill in the blanks, upload pictures and write status updates for the different people on the wall. I have not yet used this app with students, but I plan on using it this week. Sometimes, when a bunch of students use an app like this, we see how good it really works. I’ll be sure to let you know.

My Fake Wall: This is a cool template, much like Fakebook. I really like how it is set up. The app is web based and allows students to build as big a page as they like. The one draw back is that it doesn’t seem to work consistently. I have used this with several classes now, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t which creates quite the headache if this is the plan for class on a particular day. That having been said, it is still worth a try because it is so much fun.

PowerPoint template: This page template opens in PowerPoint, but functions surprisingly as a Facebook page. Adding pictures and status text is quite easy without creating a mess of the page. This is a three page template giving students quite a bit of creative license in a non-web based platform.

MS Word template: This template is a little harder to use and doesn’t look quite as good as the others, but it is another option. It does work in Word which is a plus if that is what students are used to using.

PhotoShop template (PSD): This one represents the most recent design of templates and rubrics for a Facebook project using a template created with Photoshop. This looks like another great option depending on your goals for the project.

If anyone knows of other fake Facebook applications or ideas for using these templates, leave a link in the comments.
