Social Media is a great way to connect, share, learn and communicate with other educators and with students and parents. Teachers can hold online study sessions, discussions, post assignments and resources, and communicate with students and parents about class issues and information. Schools can use social media to connect with parents and the community and communicate with staff and students.
Facebook is one social network that schools and teachers use with their students, when it isn't blocked by the school filtering software! Our school district has a Facebook page, but blocks Facebook on the school network.
