Literacy through

Social Media in Today’s Classroom

Whether or not you are tech savvy, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest and other social media platforms are consistently present in our daily lives. Both adults and children embrace this technology for personal entertainment, work, and inspiration. It only makes sense that educators should tap into this modern day resource to enhance learning opportunities for their students.

We invite you to explore an environment in which creating, sharing, and exchanging information via social media can enrich the literacy experience within your classroom. Even schools with minimal technology can use these tools to engage students in real-world opportunities.
