Why Embrace Social Media in the Classroom

I believe educating our educators is the only way to change the culture of teaching. Many educators fear the unknown or fear they need to be experts before they can implement something new. Or maybe they just feel that traditional methods are still the best solutions to learning.

 

I know many feel so overwhelmed already with their workload; there just simply isn’t any time to implement new techniques.
