Social Network and Education

This is the topic that all of us should be familiar with because it belongs to our students’ world. However, from my personal point of view there should be a difference between using social networks as a tool for learning, and being part of our students’ lives. I do not like much writing in social networks, but I can invite my students to write because they are used to. In other words there will not be an extra homework, but an interesting and creativity way to express their thoughts developing a second language.

Leandro did a very good micro lesson. First, he used relevant information, which considered not only the advantages of using social networks, but also the disadvantages of using it. Second, his English was very good, but he has to be careful with overusing slangs. And third, the micro lesson was well staged and organized; however, the last activity was not appropriated to assess the contents taught because there was not time to do that. Finally, I congratulate Leandro for his presentation, and I invite teachers to use social networks with their students because I guarantee you that there will be learning after all.
