Social media are playing a very important part in our everyday lives at this age in time. It would be a good idea to incorporate it in the classroom. Learners will enjoy and probably learn more through this form of education since them basically spending most of their days on Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I personally can say that it is good tools to use in the classroom since we at university are actively using these media platforms to do our own schoolwork and make the interaction between students and lecturers much easier. These media platforms can be used to incorporate different schools in a certain district to share ideas and schoolwork. For example: In an area like Stellenbosch with many different schools, it will be useful for teachers and students to share information regarding their particular subjects. This will be especially useful since all schools need to follow the same curriculum. Learners will be able to engage with some of their friends at other schools with whom they are doing the same modules/subjects. There are many ways that students and learners can share schoolwork or to help each other on these platforms. They can form groups on Whatsapp or Twitter relating to their particular modules/subjects which will be helpful. The fact that certain learners (previously disadvantaged) do not have the resources to acquire certain gadgets or are not able to access internet should not debilitate the rest of the learners. Furthermore, teachers should rather try to communicate with parents and inform them of the benefits of social media and how their children can and will benefit from it. The world is becoming a beacon of technology and if people, and especially learners do not start to engage with it now, will be left behind and be technologically isolated from the rest of the world. The use of social media in class can also help those children who normally do not understand the work but prefer to suffer in isolation. This is not good because this will discourage the student which might lead to them dropping out of school if it is getting too much to handle. People should bear in mind that these platforms can be used without jeopardizing the safety and security of the learners nor the teachers. Teachers who prefer to make use of these platforms should do so with the consent of the parents.
