I think that this article is very useful for me, someone who is going to be a teacher in the 21st century, since it suggest many ways to use the social media in my classes. It is a good method to connect with my students, because nowadays almost everyone uses technology, specially social networks and I could take advantage of this and use it in a good way. One of the suggestions that I found very interesting is the second one: Utilize a Facebook group to stream live talks and host conversations. I never thaught in the use of Facebook to communicate academic topics, or with my teachers, but the use of e-mail or skype might be boring for some students, and Facebook is tho most used social media, so me as teacher could use it to mantain contact with them, and also share some homework, or even give some classes there.
