There is a strong case being made in defense of the advantages of using social media in the classroom. Educators are finding some of the benefits include a decrease in absenteeism, learning collaboration, renewed interest in school to name a few benefits. To further add to the case for social media being beneficial not just to schools but also to students by citing a 50 percent increase in grades, how could anyone argue with that? The teachers and school are also using social media as a tool for encouraging students and their parents’ interest in school by using Pinterest to showcase students’ projects and schoolwork. Also, they are blogging about their classes and using Facebook to make pages about historical figures, their contributions, why they’ve become famous. Schools are also now texting students with wake up or running late through a text on time program at no cost to schools. It’s a very convincing argument to for schools to adopt programs using social media in their curriculum.
