Integrating social media into the classroom and how will I use it to be a better teacher.

Kurt Lewin once said: " Learning is more effective when it is an active rather than a passive process.

Hey everybody!
Is it necessary to integrate social media in the classroom?
That's a question asked by many and today it is my time to answer. I believe that anyone can play with technology,but the future belongs to those who use it to create. it is therefore a MUST to integrate technology in the classroom, for not only is it the modern toys babies are growing up with, but it is also part of our technologically advanced lifestyle we are living in today. Using social media students learn better and stay focused, for scientists shown that students learn better if the like something and is  comfortable with something.


And so people ask me how i will use FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND BLOGGING in class to be a better teacher. As the saying goes, "A child in sport is a child out of court." For me it is the same with social media in class. Technology has become a part of us and it is part of our daily lives. I feel that it should be used, for example blogging can be used to help learners portray their identities and what they believe in. It can be use to help learners with mathematics or science. For there are many blogs about these type of subjects.

Soooo have a nice evening and we will talk again!!!
