3. The use of social media and mobile devices
presents both advantages as well as
challenges, mostly its benefits seen in terms
of accessing course contents, video clip,
transfer of the instructional notes etc. Each
social media platform offers many different
ways to be used in the classroom, from
sharing announcements to holding live
lectures, and so much more.

4. Social media can be used directly in the
classroom. There are many social media tools
for education that can be taken advantage of
for students of any age, from elementary all
the way through college. Overall students feel
that social media and mobile devices are the
cheap and convenient tools of obtaining
relevant information.

5. USE A
FACEBOOK
PAGE TO
BROADCAST
UPDATES
AND ALERTS.
Facebook can be the perfect
social media platform to
incorporate into the classroom.
Instead of putting teachers and
pupils alike through a new
learning curve when dealing with
a traditional online classroom
dashboard, stick to something
everyone already knows.

6.  Have students follow the class’s Facebook
Page, and the instructor can use it to post
class updates, share homework assignments
and encourage discussion.
 Even if a pupil isn’t active on Facebook,
these Pages are still accessible when signed
out. However, keep in mind Facebook Page
are public and anyone with a Facebook
account can comment on the posts.

7. Use a
Facebook
Group to
stream live
lectures and
host
discussions.
Instructors can also
create Facebook Groups for
each of their classes—both
public or private—and stream
Facebook Live lectures, post
discussion questions, assign
homework and make class
announcements.

8.  When using social media for education, it’s
important to ensure a professional boundary,
so when setting up a Facebook Group,
teachers do not need to send friend requests.
Email both parents and students a direct link
to the Facebook Group for access.
 Groups are the perfect “home base,”
especially for an online course and can make
it easy to connect with student.

9. Use Twitter
as a class
message
board
Twitter can be great as a
discussion board or message
board for a class. Teachers
can create a single Twitter
handle per class and reuse it
every year, or they can create
a new handle each school
year.

10.  Teacher can use Twitter to post reminders for
assignment due dates or share inspirational
quotes and helpful links to practice quizzes or
resources.
 Teacher can also create discussions and
Twitter chats surrounding a specific hashtag
that they create.

11. Use
Instagram
for photo
essays
Pupils can use Instagram to
present a series of photos or
graphics in a visually
appealing manner. Instagram
allows pupilss to practice
digital storytelling in ways that
other social media platforms
may fall short.

12. Pupils can create class-specific
Instagram accounts and may
delete them after the course is
over if they so choose.

13. Create a
class blog
for
discussions
Writing blog posts gives
students another outlet for
digital content that they can
then easily link back to class
social channels.

14. There are many different platforms
available, such as WordPress,
SquareSpace, Wix, Blogger,
Tumblr or Medium, where
teachers can create a class blog.

15. Create a
class-
specific
Pinterest
board
Instructors can create
Pinterest boards for each of
their classes and save pins
that are relevant to lessons.

16. Pinterest is a great social media
platform for teachers to use to prepare
and organize resources, lesson plans
and worksheets for their classes in one
place. Create boards according to class
or subject, and create sub-topic boards
for weekly units or all worksheets.

17. Include
social media
links on your
school
website
Make it easy for parents and
students to find your school’s
social media profiles by adding
links to the website’s main
navigation or creating a
social media directory that
houses them all in one place.

18. Share school
events and
photos
Highlighting events and
extracurriculars can make your
school stand out from the rest.
Social media allows you to be
more unique and casual.

19. Create a
social media
crisis
strategy
Keep parents and students
updated on the situation by
sharing information about the
crisis and if authorities are
involved. Using social media
will keep even more people
updated and informed.

20. Using Skype to
connect with
anyone,
anywhere, at any
time
Students not only connect with
teachers but teachers encourage
students to broaden their view of the
world. Skype has a whole portal
dedicated to educators who can use
it to teach various lessons already set
up by the Skype team.

21. Using
YouTube in
teaching
Educators of any level can click on
the education category
within YouTube and find several
subcategories such as university,
science, business, and engineering.

22.  As social media networks advance in
education systems, many helpful and
beneficial tools will emerge that can make
learning a more enriching experience.
 Students today are intimately involved
with social media at every stage.

23.  If you’re missing onto the usage of social
media you are pushing away a lot of
potential audience. Using it in educational
institutions can prove to be a very
effective measure.
 The benefits of social media for academic
entities are many. The above are just a
few, to begin with.

24.  Social media sites offer great opportunities for
communication between peers and teachers.
 Using social media, teachers can improve the
involvement of their students in studies and
education, improve technological ability,
provide a great sense of collaboration in the
classroom and build good communication
skills of students.
