Social Media

I think using social media in your class is a wonderful tool to get the students engaged. With the older students I can see them using it but also abusing it but as teachers we know the risks that may come with bringing that into our classroom. As far as the younger students I can see teachers creating accounts for their class, and then tweeting for their students or having students tweeting from that account. That way teachers still have control of the account and have to be present while tweeting or looking through the newsfeed. As far as Facebook I can see schools using things such as My Big Campus or Edmodo just for the fact that is safe for the students and can be monitored.
