Social Networking and Education

Social networks provide awareness to public matters especially socially, politically, economically, educationally, etc. As networks provide users opportunities to share and become informed on world issues, this increases understanding, knowledge, and the rapidity of information. Facebook is a great way to share links, images, quotes, videos, and many other types of media regarding any subject. Twitter is a more intimate social media platform where personal opinions can be shared. Personally, I enjoy blogging. I have a blogger account where I post my personal opinions, I share media files, like pictures, audio, and video. I think social media platforms help learners reiterate what they have learned by allowing learners to provide their own insight and feedback. I think reflecting is an important aspect of learning and should be implemented more often.
