Risk-taker teachers
Obviously, there are several examples of instructors who have previously implemented social
media in their classrooms that we are aware of; nevertheless, there are a select few who did such
an outstanding job that their pupils nearly made them viral. A biology instructor in Bergen County,
for example, issued a challenge to his students. They had to use a specific hashtag to debate the
subject of meiosis on Twitter. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to have fun while learn-
ing. Because you will need to know your meiosis to fit it into 140 characters.
“We live in a digital ecosystem, and educational institutions must change accordingly.”
Carla Dawson – a professor of digital marketing at the University of Cordoba makes an excel-
lent argument, as history has shown us that, no matter how fierce the opposition, technical devel-
opment and new trends will eventually become the norm. Naturally, this only applies to industrial-
ized countries with a well-structured traditional educational system. When it comes to developing
countries who are still trying to find their path, the situation is very different.
The advantages of social media in education do not have to be limited to the teacher-student
connection. There are numerous other benefits that can be derived from the use of social network-
ing at a higher level. Principals or administrators, for example, can develop a novel approach to
include social media. For example, publishing school news on social media, hosting an online
meeting with parents, or even initiating a fundraising campaign for various initiatives.
And, because we live in such a fast-paced world, social media can soon become the only means
of connection. Parents are frequently preoccupied with work and unable to attend school meetings.
But it doesn't mean they shouldn't be aware of upcoming events or be able to check in on their
children from time to time. Communication is important in every profession, and if it can be done
effortlessly with the help of social media, why not take use of it? It may not yet be a criterion, but
queries like "Does this school have a Facebook page?" may eventually become as significant as
the questions that parents are asking now. For example, how well-equipped the library is, or what
elective classes their child can participate in.
Conclusions
The bottom line is that social media is an integral part of our daily lives, and it makes no
sense to exclude it from the educational process. Staff in schools, colleges, and universities should
be encouraged to use technology to communicate with students and parents. This may easily be
turned into a college argumentative essay topic. However, the advantages are clear, ranging from
improved parent-teacher interactions to long-term changes in how our children learn.
