This is an exciting resource to use for the classroom without having to "friend" parents. My question is which is better a Fan page or a group? Thoughts?

We introduced a Facebook Fan page in August to coincide with a move to WordPress. The idea was to update daily and increase the information we were putting out to the school community.

Facebook is now our third biggest source of traffic after Google and bookmarks. Students at the school and prospective students have got onboard and regularly interact with us. I think this has been one of the major ways in which we've gone from 20,000 hits per month six months ago to 230,000 hits.
