I think that this article is very useful for me, someone who is going to be a teacher in the 21st century, since it suggest many ways to use the social media in my classes. It is a good method to connect with my students, because nowadays almost everyone uses technology, specially social networks and I could take advantage of this and use it in a good way. One of the suggestions that I found very interesting is the second one: Utilize a Facebook group to stream live talks and host conversations. I never thaught in the use of Facebook to communicate academic topics, or with my teachers, but the use of e-mail or skype might be boring for some students, and Facebook is tho most used social media, so me as teacher could use it to mantain contact with them, and also share some homework, or even give some classes there.

I am printing this out for teachers. While several of them joined Twitter this year and have found benefits to it, there are many who are afraid to approach it. Gwyneth's steps take all the fear out of social media for educators!

Mastodon is a free, open-source social network. A decentralized alternative to commercial platforms, it avoids the risks of a single company monopolizing your communication. Pick a server that you trust — whichever you choose, you can interact with everyone else. Anyone can run their own Mastodon instance and participate in the social network seamlessly.

Use of Twitter across educational settings: a review of the literature | International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education 

Use of Twitter across educational settings: a review of the literature | International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education  | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From educationaltechnologyjournal.springeropen.com - October 1, 2019 4:03 PM
The use of social media across the educational landscape is on the rise. Subsequently, the body of research on this topic is vibrant and growing. In this article, we present findings from a review of 103 peer-reviewed scientific studies published over the last decade (2007–2017) that address the use of Twitter for educational purposes across formal and informal settings. The majority of the studies reported in the literature are descriptive case studies carried out with students in North American and European higher education settings. Analysis of these studies signals Twitter as a useful tool for communication due to high accessibility, novelty, and real-time format. Students, teachers, and other stakeholders use it as a pedagogical tool to gain information, interact and engage with each other, participate in their respective communities of interests, and share their insights about specific topics. Moreover, Twitter has the potential to enhance students’ learning capabilities as well as improve their motivation and engagement due to its unique features and non-traditional teaching approach. Finally, our analysis advocates for carrying out further empirical studies focusing on digital trace data and inference, particularly in the developing countries.
