Social media is a part of modern day society. Bringing social media such as blogs, the internet etc. into the classroom is a great way to get students involved and interested in your lesson. This way the teacher is able to share notes and ideas online and students can interact anytime they want.
Discussions on topics and ideas can take place, not only in class and videos can be shared online. If students should be uncertain about a topic or an assignment then Skype can also be integrated into the class context. This way the teacher also learns a lot from students and can monitor the students better.
I would personally integrate social media into my classroom and think that it is a great idea to interact and get to know your students better.
It is true it also help teachers to learn more about their students.
