| Summary: | The idea of using social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other social networking sites for
teaching and learning might not be appealing to many educators. The detrimental effects that social
networking sites might have on the students are some of the concerns raised by these educators, involving
the invasion and exploitation of privacy, inappropriate media communication or content, distraction from the
traditional way of learning, and many more. However, if the proper structure is put in place and the content
is monitored, such social media can become a valuable and interactive teaching and learning tool.
In this paper, the author will share some strategies used on Facebook specifically for class projects, due to
its use as a communication platform for online discussions and a way for educators to connect with the
students. |
