Students aren’t just passive users of social media tools, either. One in five stated they post online comments on a daily basis, with 41 percent doing it at least weekly. Similarly, 22 percent of students admitted to uploading videos at some point, with nine percent claiming they do so on a weekly basis. And a whopping 30 percent of them publish their own blogs, with 17 percent of them updating them weekly.

I also like having the class group because I can see all the students have joined, and I can manage the class a little easier. If I want to send Timmy a message I can do that very easily without having to scroll through my list of friends to find him. Other students can do the same.
