Social media in class is a way of allowing your students to interact with you, There should be a guideline for when we tweet in class and what we tweet about for that there will be understanding. Learners need to be taught how to write an email and how to send it that is also part of technology.
The myth about social media in the classroom is that if you use it, kids will be Tweeting, Face booking and Snap chatting while you're trying to teach. We still have to focus on the task at hand. Don't mistake social media for socializing that is rule number one to my learners they work in groups or talking while hanging out are different.
Surely students will post thousands of status updates, pictures, and blogs in their lifetime.Social media is here. It's just another resource and doesn't have to be a distraction from learning objectives. Social media is another tool that you can use to make your classroom more engaging, relevant and culturally diverse. The importance of it is to have RULES in your class and if they want to learn new things they will abide by your rules.
