For educators who are searching for ways to harness the power of social media in their classrooms, this Edutopia article by writer Matt Davis will pay dividends. Davis begins by making a case for social media use, then launches into a resource-packed review of 33 Internet articles that offer tips on integrating Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest into a variety of curricula. Highlights include articles, such as Education Week’s "New How-To Guide for Using Facebook in the Classroom" and David Truss' “One-Stop-All-You-Need-to-Know-Guide to Twitter." With only one in five teachers regularly using social media with their students, this site could boost confidence and help utilize these powerful tools.
