Social Media in Education
Wesley Przybylski
Social media has become an integral part of our lives since the outbreak of Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and the myriad of others. As educators the question remains, "How do we leverage these globally connected programs to transform learning?" Embracing the concept of social media and integrating it into curricula has proven beneficial and increased student participation in learning. Together we can unlock the power of local and global networks for teaching and innovative learning experiences for our students.
