Individual Reflection

In class we have discussed how social media plays a huge role in the life of our generation. Today teenagers spend over two hours on social media everyday so we are pretty savvy when it comes to using social networking sites. With that being said we can use social media in education. In class we talked about the benefits of networking through twitter and Facebook so it wouldn’t be hard transition to use twitter in school. Teachers can use Twitter to reach out to students and keep them updated on school assignments, extra credit opportunities, and just overall feel connected with the teacher. I also incorporated Facebook in my tutorial. Facebook groups can be used to bring students together in a more relaxed environment. Lastly I included Blogger. Blogger is a great way to allow students to express their personality when they post homework assignments on a customized blog. I used Prezi to create the tutorial and I used this website before for projects so I didn’t have any difficulties.
