The article – “Teachers Embrace Social Media in Class” – describes the divide in college faculty perspectives on social media. One side sees social media as a distraction negatively impacting student engagement (and mentions one institution who blocked access to social sites for a week) and the other sees social media as a tool to reach students where they are and focus them in on the learning process.
