This document discusses opportunities for using social media and web 2.0 technologies in education. It introduces social networking sites and explains that schools are using social media positively to engage students, encourage collaboration, and make learning less confined to the classroom. The document provides several examples of how teachers can use blogs, Edmodo, wikis, Twitter, Pinterest, bookmarking sites, Prezi, Vine, and student response tools like Socrative to support student projects, writing, language practice, book clubs, and more. It emphasizes that these technologies should be used appropriately and that just because students are early adopters does not mean they understand the technologies better than teachers.
