SOCIAL NETWORKING:

Refers to the practice of using social media platforms as a way of enhancing the education of students. Social media is defined as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content.

Social media can allow students to access a variety of knowledgeable peers, parents, community members, children's literature authors, academics and other people who might not otherwise be available.

Teachers have had their students write blog posts for certain assignments and then share their assignment to their Twitter accounts accompanied by a hashtag. Here the students can enjoy feedback from not only their teacher but also from others who have read their assignment via Twitter. Teachers also use Twitter and other social media tools to hold review sessions for their classes in out of school hours and to support one another.


This gives the teachers more time to teach in class rather than answering questions and

clarifying because of the extra time they had to review with their students through social media. Having these social media tools in class also helps students ask their peers or teachers questions out of school when studying, motivated or confused. Social media can also provide motivation for students who might learn or put forward more effort because students know their work is being shared with audiences such as their classmates, families or other classes around the world. Students will also know that their family, such as their parents or guardians, can follow their class or school social media accounts to see examples of their work and learning from the students and teacher. Social media can also impact how learning occurs by all students engaging in conversation rather than just a minority of the class. It can help bring a more diverse set of perspectives into the classroom since all of the students are voicing their opinions, especially the quieter students who do not like voicing their opinions in class.
