Engaging Students with Technology over the Summer
I like the idea of connecting with students in "their world." I think using social media tools to engage students definitely motivates them to communicate and continue learning even when they are away from school. It also aids in understanding the various learning styles in the classroom. There are so many unique learning styles, and there is no better way to understand them than getting to know the kids in all avenues of their life. I would be worried about using facebook, but all the other tools mentioned in the article seem harmless. Even silly games like Draw Something and Words With Friends keeps the learning connection between teacher and student.
