Social+Media

﻿Social media is using the internet to stay connected with others at all times. You also have a larger network or community because you can be connected to others through your connections (what???). In other words, you have a set of friends, they have a set of friends...you have access to all of your friends friends.

I'm leary about using this in my classroom because I feel it give students an opportunity to be mean and ugly to their classmates because they get to hide behind the computer. On the other hand, students might also speak up online when they don't in class because they get to hide behind the computer.

I'm going to try Twiducate with my students to build in accountability with my at-home reading. I'm not exactly sure what this will look like, yet, but thoughts are definitely forming.
