Integrating social media in education

Abstract

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and education have bolstered ties in recent decades, that we can no longer speak about education without technology. As we adapt to new learning conditions, we discover its advantages and the consideration we must bear when using new teaching-learning methodologies. Social networks were not initially considered within teaching-learning tools, but their advantages, interactivity, and appropriation of today's society have put them under the educators´ scrutiny. We explore an overview of ICT and how to adjust them to the educational field.
