Social Network in Education

Are platforms that are part of a general culture. As such, it just makes sense for education programs to adopt them as well another tool for teaching.

• Having student website programs
• Creating and maintaining Wikis
• Using a classroom specific LMS
• Online pen pal programs
• Requiring students to write blog responses to course content
• Participating in classroom forums

For example:Follow politicians: If your class is studying the current election, use Facebook to follow politicians on the local, state, and national scale. You can even ask students to interact with the candidates, posting questions and getting feedback.

For example:Track a hash tag.More ambitious educators may want to incorporate Twitter in lessons that track hash tags for another interesting lesson in how trends spread and the various ways in which people use social media to communicate ideas.

For example:1) Use the Group Chats feature to create learning and study groups.2) Create audio lessons that can be sent directly to students.3) Stay in contact with students outside the classroom.
