Hey everybody!!!!
I think that sosial media should be use in classrooms because children can learn a lot more new things!

1.SOCIAL MEDIA SITES CAN INCREASE STUDENT COLLABORATION
 -Social media sites provide an avenue for students to easily contact one another regarding school projects, group assignments or for help on homework assignments.

2. USING SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM CAN ENCOURAGE MORE PARTICIPATION
-Students who do not participate regularly in class may feel they can express their thoughts through social media.   Although this should not completely replace in class participation it can help build the students’ confidence and encourage them to find their voice and be able to participate in class.

3. SOCIAL MEDIA SITES CAN BE USEFUL FOR HOMEWORK HELP
-When students have questions about a class assignment they can easily post a message asking if anyone can help.  They can also write a specific question to the teacher on a wall that other students can see.  This allows the whole class to have access to the feedback from the teacher.

4. SHARE RESOURCES QUICKLY WHEN USING SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM
-If the teacher needs to direct students to a particular online resource they can easily share the site through social media sites like twitter.  If the teacher wants the class to visit a particular site all they have to do is tweet the website and the entire class can view it with one click.

5. SOCIAL MEDIA HELPS KEEP PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ALL ON THE SAME PAGE
-It is very useful for teachers to be able to post on social media sites about class activities, homework assignments and even school events.  This helps the teachers, parents and students all stay on the same page about what is going on at school.  Sites like facebook also allow teachers to easily communicate through private messages to parents and students without having to leave phone messages and wait for a call back.
