Social media has changed how we view the world. Many of which can be used for productive educational purposes. Many teachers that I know have used Instagram for their students to follow and get class updates on. There are also social media applications that mimic social media specifically for social media. I think it is important to incorporate some social media into the classroom because so much of the world depends on it. I have used social networking such as LinkdIn for my upper class students to prepare for jobs and college. Although, I am not super familiar with many of the social networking technologies, I think the students would benefit from using them. My concerns are what most are concerned with, which is misuse of the technology. Students who have technology access during class are less likely to retain the information from the lesson.
