Have you ever asked yourself the question, "What prevents the use of social media in the classroom?" This is a very interesting question and one that many educators struggle to answer because of acceptable use policies or concern of the risk involved. The following YouTube video gives some excellent considerations in attempting to answer this question:

What prevents the use of social media in the classroom? 

As the individual in this video presents, as educators, we have to take into consideration that we are not per se teaching students to use social media, but rather to use it as a tool as part of their daily life to extend the productivity and efficiency of daily personal and professional interactions.

Great food for thought!
