While social media and digital literacy are here to stay, that doesn't mean teachers must become experts overnight. By doing research, taking advantage of free online resources, and talking to fellow teachers about the best ways to use social media, educators will be able to effectively evaluate which platforms and strategies work best for them and their students. Overall, implementing some of these resources into the classroom will not only help teachers grow professionally, but it will also help students and their parents become more invested in the classroom.
