Social media is not only a source of fun or entertainment. It can also help teachers and students study. It makes education accessible and learning fun and easy.
In this article, we will discuss five simple ways to use social media for education. Let’s have a look!
Live streaming lectures
Live streaming is used to show lessons or presentations.
One of the best ways to use social media for education is live-streaming lectures. Live streaming helps a teacher show different ideas and concepts clearly.
They can use live streaming tools to show lessons or presentations. It also helps students to learn from home or anywhere. Students can also ask questions and participate fully in the lectures.
Moreover, taking short breaks during online learning can help students improve their concentration and focus.
Playing simple games like I Love Solitaire can help students relax. Solitaire is a fun, classic card game that allows them to refresh their minds.
Create a Class Blog
Another simple way to use social media is by creating a class blog. A teacher or a group of students can start a blog to share education-related news, homework, and tasks. It will keep everyone informed.
Moreover, creating a blog is easy to set up and update. Students can read the blog anytime, leave comments, and ask questions.
Connect with Students via Facebook Groups
Facebook groups can also be used for educational purposes. It is a great tool to connect with students. Facebook groups help students connect and share education-related news, updates, and material.
A teacher can create a class group and post reminders about homework and other tests. Students can also share their work and ask for help when needed.
Digital Storytelling with Instagram
Digital storytelling with Instagram is another easy way to use social media for education. Students and teachers can use Instagram to share their ideas and concepts with pictures and short videos.
This makes it easier to learn new things. Moreover, the simple design of Instagram makes it a good tool for visual learning.
Q&A sessions on Twitter
Last but not least, Twitter Q&A sessions help students solve their queries. Students can ask anything anytime, and teachers can also use Twitter to ask questions.
This type of session is quick and easy and allows students to share ideas and learn from each other. Teachers can also use Twitter to give short tips and quick reminders.
Actually it’s a source of mass misinformation and has done and is doing huge harm to democracy around the world as well as being dangerously addictive. FB is being used in our election to spread false news while disallowing actual credible news. Certain political parties of course find that helpful to spread their three-word slogans and BS.
As for Twitter, as Graham says, that’s long gone and the replacement is a toxic waste dump which companies and governments are increasingly leaving along with millions of users.
Way too many ads masquerading as articles imo.
Twitter—long gone,
