Exercise
Teachers can create a class twitter account and as a group they can follow people that are relevant to the subject they are studying. Teachers can also facilitate a group tweet at the end of a class to help the kids recap what they learned in school that day. Parents can choose to follow the class to keep up with what the kids are learning. Teaching students how to use social media as a learning tool is a perfect way to keep students using it positively and for a useful purpose.
