Social Media In The Classroom

Social Media is a relatively new topic in the education community. Many instituition have come to the realization that education is changing. Over the past 10 years there has been an explosion in the amount of institutions that offer online options for students. I was able to take courses with Florida State for their educational leadership program as a distance student. Teachers are being charged with developing online content that is engaging for student while focusing on rigor. I believe that social media outlets that are beneficial to the educational process should be selected by districts to use in classrooms. Remind is a common tool that I use in the classroom to update students on events. This should be a system that is commonly use in districts and classrooms for communication. Social medial will continue to be an important aspect of education.

  1. It would make sense for the district to have some policies around social media usage, or at least have something where everyone generally uses the same system. I think technology is always changing so fast it can be so hard to keep up with. I haven't used Remind before, but I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the suggestion!
