Use of Social Media
Bringing social media into the classroom has two purposes. On one level, it becomes a tool for engaging students in traditional curricular goals. If we look at it from another lens, however, as bringing the classroom into the social media platform, then it also becomes a place where educators and students can begin to deconstruct and analyze what it means to be a reader and writer in these spaces (Moline, 2012). When approached from both perspectives, learning is enriched all around. Using digital medias helps students to connect their out of school learning and interacting with the curriculum.
