This document discusses best practices for using social media in education. It suggests that social media can be used for communication between teachers and students, coordinating class events, sharing materials, monitoring student progress, and clarifying doubts.

The document provides references for papers on social media's role in university teaching and guidelines for optimizing social networks in education.
