How Schools Could Use Social Media

 

Schools can put announcements and discussions on sites like Twitter. Students can e-mail their teachers and ask questions about their homework that they may not understand. Students can use quizlet.com to make flashcards and share with other students for tests. Schools can make a school website to keep students updated on school closings, sports games, etc. Teachers can create a Facebook page to post homework and class assignments on so the students and even their parents are aware of what is going on in the classroom.


Students can post their class projects on Pinterest so their teachers can see that they did them and they can see how to improve them by their peers. The teachers can give students a quiz question and have them tweet their answers. The teachers can also have the students type a lesson summary in 140 characters or less on Twitter. Having students blog in class is a great way to improve their writing skills. Teachers can give out writing assignments in blogger.

There can be an essay writing competition between different English classes on blogger and the best essay can be put on the school's website. The students will feel motivated and start their own blogs after the competition.
