Classroom work Online

With the help of social media, we could transform entire classroom work online. It may not happen through a social media site like Twitter directly, but I think we could take all assignments and put them online. Teachers could set up a website on the computer and kids could have the choice of using the website or sticking to paper work if internet is not available to them. Students would be able to learn in the classroom, and have things such as their phones, Ipads, laptops, etc. to do the assignments or to even take notes. That way, since kids are always on their phone, they have no excuse for not completing the work. On this website, teachers could also put their lecture notes, and possible examples if it was a math class, for the student's use if they need it. 

Then, on Twitter or Facebook, a link and notifications could be set up so that each time there is a new assignment or notes, students could receive a reminder on any social media site, that they are always on anyway, about it and be able to finish assignments. This would greatly increase grades and productivity in the classroom. Teenagers would have no excuses for not finishing their work.

Social media, whether we like it or not, is a part of society today. Constantly teenagers are on their phones, computers, Ipads, etc. connecting with each other. We, as a society, should use this to our benefit to keep kids in school to learn and get good grades, instead of trying to keep them off these sites. Social media can be used for good.
