As I reflect on this issue of social media in the classroom, I believe that the safety of students must be first priority in all learning activities provided.  We are in an age where the goal in education is to provide technology to every student. Our students have become “addicted” to communication through the use of social media and much of what is being communicated amongst students is mean, hurtful and unproductive. Although social media can be a great tool for teaching, I don’t believe it is the best use of our student’s time while learning.   As teachers and administrators, the goal should remain to give students the best education possible and to spark student interest in many areas. In the future, I believe the question in education might be addressing the need to engage students outside of technology.
