As we know social media is easy way of communication, whether you share information without moving so, from that it reduces some cost and time. so here as teachers it simplify sending information to your peers, students, parents and community by using e-mail and social media, at the side of teaching and learning processes it is better to assess your students by using social media like this our moodle and also to know their personality from the created forum.

The social media is very crucial in teaching and learning activities in term of collaboration because it helps teachers and learners to provide useful information about about the school at which the are. for example communicate the school meeting, the the miss conducted of the child and the sickness of the children. let me talk about the bad effect of social media. it can lead the children to behave unlikely like watching pornography and reading information related to bad politics.

teaching by using social media is highly motivating...

Save valuable time and tedious work, because manually sharing your social media posts is time-consuming and costly.

Cross-post or cross-promote your posts or press releases in just one single step. Re-share evergreen content, schedule your contents for the best times to post, share and re-share once or recurrently.

Social Web App makes sharing and cross-promoting your content fast and easy. Get more outreach in less time.

Social media plays role in smart teaching  where the teacher can share information with students or other teachers like send work to the students, clarification of work when there is a problem, or he/she can ask something to other teachers

When you are preparing the course to teach, when you find a certain thing you don't understand  you may ask your collegue through  social media or e-mail then you question solved immediately

also for students are the same they can ask you about  problems faced during the work through social media, the questions can be sent through e-mail

How might social media and e-mail enhance your collaboration with peers, students, parents and community.

Online social networking includes much more than Facebook and Twitter. It is any online use of technology to connect people, enable them to collaborate with each other, and form virtual communities, says the Young Adult Library Services Association. Social networking sites may allow visitors to send e-mails, post comments, build web content, and/ or take part in live chats.

When families, community groups, business and schools band together to support learning, young people achieve more in school, stay in school longer, and enjoy the experience more.

Here are some important key point to successful school transformation by using email and social media:

  • Community/business school partnerships
  • Parental collaboration
  • Curriculum connected to real world experiences
  • Student voice
  • Cross generation learning
  • Locals designing solutions to local problems

How might social media and e-mail enhance your collaboration with peers, students, parents and community?

  • Social-media tools, such as Face book and Twitter, are helping teachers keep parents and other community members informed. 
  • Teachers are encouraged to go where the parents are; more parents are apt to be on Face book or Twitter every day, whereas they might check the class webpage only once in a while or when reminded.
  • Social Media and E-mail are powerful communication tools. When done well, they are opportunities for teachers to read, think, and reflect, connecting their students’ learning to their classroom practice.

Examples:

1.     A blog attracts parents’ attention. Having a blog that talks about teaching and learning, with the aim of sharing knowledge with parents, is a great way for you to help parents deal with issues that affect their children and to support them by helping them support their children’s learning.

2.      A blog lets parents see that teachers are people. Parents appreciate getting to know their child’s teacher as a person. It helps to build rapport and establish a closer relationship.

Social Media in the Classroom Today's younger generation is hooked on social media. If given the choice between Tweeting or textbooks, which would students choose? Many teachers think that if they allow their students to use social media in the classroom, students will be posting status updates about how their day is going, which would only detract from educational experiences. However, social media can be a powerful educational tool that provides unique and dynamic learning experiences to students and teachers alike. Social media can network people across the world. Social media are internet sites where people interact with one another. They provide a place for people across the world to share information and engage in discussions. Social media provides the means to share graphics, videos, and audio files. With a history dating back nearly 20 years, social media has become second nature to today's students.

Social media platform, i see it as another means of teaching when used well, as  it help the follow up of school activities such as Homework, quizzes,.. where The Teacher can give  tasks after school,... and students submit their works from their home helped by their parents. From this the role of parent in the education will be more visible.

On the other hand it is the direct means of communication of the teacher and the parent, where they can share the daily activity of the students.

Improve Communication among Students and Teachers

Facebook and Twitter can improve interaction among learners and teachers. Teachers can respond to students’ questions via a Facebook page or Twitter feed, post homework assignments and lesson plans, send messages and updates, schedule or announce upcoming events, and share interesting Web sites and multimedia content.
