First post :)

In my first post I'd like to show you an interesting article which deals with the possibilities of using social media in the classroom:

Speaking Up in Class, Silently, Using Social Media

While social media and the internet itself poses a strong temptation for distraction, I think it also has its uses, and it helps to make our studies more convenient. Being a shy person in groups, I really liked this idea and wish more teachers would practise the method of encouraging students to speak up in class.
What are your opinions?
