It’s so crazy how you can discuss with others around the world, and it’s a powerful tool to use in the classroom. Technology is constantly growing and never ending, so teaching the students the correct way to use these tools is very important. I can’t say social media has any negative aspects when using in the classroom, but rather a concern for personal use of social media. As we discussed in previous class discussion, cyberbullying is a problem. It is very important for the teacher to first discuss how to use social media correctly before bringing it into the classroom. Another negative is that lot of students do not have access to social media. How do we teach those who don’t? I believe twitter will continue to be a trend to gather information from students replacing the normal exit slip. I also believe blog post, and Facebook, will continue to grow and be used in classrooms. Like I said previously, technology is constantly growing, so why not use those to teach students?
