For the past two decades the internet has been a valuable resource for educators because of the number of beneficial uses it presents teachers with. As an educator myself I understood very quickly when I first began working in as an ESOL educator in South Korea understood how useful the internet was for teaching adult South Koreans. One very popular social media website I used to teach them how to correctly type in the English language was Facebook. Additionally, by using Skype, I was able to teach these same adults how to use English in casual conversations with native English speakers so they could get to know people within the foreign community in Seoul. Regarding my thoughts about social media and its various uses within education, I believe that only great opportunities will arise in the classroom if teachers use social media as a medium through which they teach students. Social media can support education in a number of ways. For example, one way is to have students within a classroom in this country connect, through a video camera and Skype, to students in a classroom in another country, wherein they can learn about each other by typing text messages within Skype, or in a classroom Facebook account, or exchange emails weekly. Doing all three of these things helps to create a cultural exchange between both classroom and takes these children out of their country and helps them understand the wide variety of people and places within this world. In conclusion, these tools should be utilized within the classroom rather than neglected.
