Students, should be introduced to using different methods of technology but it is our job as teachers to ensure that we teach them the proper way to use these resources. I think that the more we begin to model the use of these platforms the better our students will truly understand the true use of them. You have some create ideas related to implementation of social media! The use of social media and technology can truly be endless!

It has become a part of our daily lives so much so that we depend on it for even our current events. Social media has become away for us to connect with others from around the world and provide us with an insight we may have never had. When used appropriately we can use social media has a learning tool. While there are some negative connotations related to social media, there are many positives. Some of these positive methods can even be implemented into the classroom and used to create learning opportunities for students. While many view social media as just a way to keep up with your friends we can really use it as a way for students to gain other perspectives and engage in different cultures. By using social media platforms, we can create opportunities for our students to communicate and share with other classrooms. Students can have the rare opportunity to communicate with students around the world. We can also use social media to provide students with assessment, students can use it as a form of exit ticket, or discussion board. The opportunities that social media can use can be endless. The importance is that we ensue that students are using these platforms responsibility. Many teachers may fear the use of social media due to the negative connotation it has, but when we teach our students how to be responsible and use social media in the most efficient manner we can eliminate many of these issues. I believe that using these platforms will help reach students that may have been difficult to reach and provide them with memories they can later revisit. Thu, 01 Aug 2019 11:46:17 +0800
