Jessica,
Good article. As students go out into the work world, having social media skills can only help them. Back in the “old days” when I attended school, there was no social networking, kids did not have access to laptops at home or in the classroom. You could be out sick for a few days and get behind on your studies. Now, there is no excuse for students to fall behind even if they can’t make it to class, they simply can go online to get their assignments etc.
