Using Social Media in the Classroom

In the 21st century, digital technology is changing the way our kids think, learn, and interact with each other, and digital skills are what kids need to be prepared for their futures. However, social media have to be used effectively in the classroom to avoid the harmful effects. 

Kathy Cassidy, a primary school teacher in Moose Jaw uses digital technology as a learning opportunity for herself and her students. She has had a classroom blog and a blog for each of her students since 2005. She believes that exposing kids to the world in a safe, teacher-moderated way is a great way to build empathy.
