Social Media in education

Hi all--

This has been such an interesting week! We've been talking about social media in schools and if it should be supported or not. There were many different points of view discussed, but everyone supported social media in classrooms. Using social media in schools will engage students and promote learning and collaboration. This skill alone is one that is crucial in all aspects of life, whether someone is a teacher, lawyer, student, or dancer.

Social media can also be used in the classroom as a way to stay in touch with parents, work with students in other classrooms (team up project), and even use it as a way to ask the teacher questions outside of class.
All in all, it's been very interesting reading all the different perspectives and I look forward to reading more when possible.

Until next time,

tm
