Social media in the classroom

I think incorporating social media into classroom can be an added benefit to the learning circle. Forums like blogging can be used to convey the message that was the topic in the classroom for that particular day perhaps, or extra learning material can be added on the blog to anhance the level of learning that perhaps could not be reached maybe due to a lack of time or internet availabillities. I woud not say that it is necessary as such, but it could be an added bonus to empower the level of learning within the classroom.
