The document explores tensions between everyday social media practices and school practices. It discusses how students' experiences, skills and attitudes from social media differ from formal education approaches. It also examines whether social networks could be used in class by addressing students' experiences and needs, and mobilizing diverse forms of participation, or if social networks should remain outside of the classroom space. The goal is to find ways to bridge everyday and school practices through pedagogical approaches that leverage students' experiences with social media.
