SOCIAL MEDIA IN EDUCATION- THE RESEARCH
Studies show“Some 78% of the 2,462 advanced placement (AP) and National Writing Project (NWP) teachers surveyed by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project say digital tools such as the internet, social media, and cell phones “encourage student creativity and personal expression.”
In addition: 96% agree digital technologies “allow students to share their work with a wider and more varied audience” 79% agree that these tools “encourage greater collaboration among students”
