Use social media for effective teaching and learning

Conclusion

• 

  With social media having revolutionised both business and personal interactions and communications, it is essential that we, as teachers, have the necessary skills on how to use social media effectively both in the classroom and out. It is important to remember that with the advantages of social media come the disadvantages and it is critical that you are aware of both.

  We trust that this course exposed you to some of the social network platforms out there and we encourage you to explore other popular social media networks.
