I believe that limited social media should be used in the classroom. A video platform such as YouTube can be an significant resource in the classroom. However websites such as Twitter and Facebook, I can not see an appropriate use of in the academic classroom.

I think that social media needs to used very limitedly in the classroom environment. I think that some people are misidentifying technology resources with social media. Social Media are communication and expression outlets that individuals have unlimited access to.
