Social networks in the classroom
The activity brought out exactly what I have been saying to my colleagues at work, social networking carries a negative vibe if its to be used in the classroom but it definitely can be used effectively to enhance teaching and learning in the classroom. From what I have read I came to the conclusion that using certain social networks like Facebook and twitter, students will be enthusiastic to use them even if its for educational purpose, however the teacher now need to monitor the students to ensure they remain on those networks for the duration of the activities and use them for the intended purpose.
social networks can be used for sharing ideas, posting pictures of class event, posting videos and commenting on them all, basically the students use the network for collaboration. finally the main purpose of the module is management and that is necessary to ensure that social networking works with education
