WHY USE SOCIAL MEDIA {facebook}

Facebook offers more divers learning opportunities and empowers our students (Yu, 2014).

They can join groups pertaining to their hobbies and likes as well as their educational goals. We can create class pages or groups for students to comment and collaborate their thinking and questions. 

Students are already using it!! They might as well use it for education as well.



Making the most of tools like Facebook will allow teachers more instructional time during class as they can explain assignments and other matters outside the classroom online using a tool such as a Facebook class page (Maloy, Verock, Edwards, & Woolf, 2014).
