Should not be used.....when your lecture post sumn on fb group and u read it and it list you as one of the people who saw the post :/...lol but i think if used the right way it can be help as it links the students not only in the class but outside and to get messgaes to each other faster

True lol The downside is that ppl can sort of mind your business unnecessarily if you are friends online.

Social networking is a distraction and should not be considered in schools or educational facilities HOWEVER Out of schools it CAN be considered to an EXTENT by Forming homework/project/course groups that can help students keep in touch and help one another.
It should not be considered in schools due to:
1. Childen might use this as a way to communicate in the classroom/school while teachers are teaching
2. Social media can be used for the worse : e.g airing videos of fights, pornorgaphy . videotaping teachers etc.
3. Social media can be addictive. - Children would not be focusing on their work in the classroom but maybe constantly
updating their statuses and taking selfies
HOWEVER IT CAN BE BENEFITICIAL:
- Creating study groups/ project groups or course groups so that students can get notifications or fast reply of a question to be answered, class reschedules/cancellations , group meetings .
-It is an easy way of communication and from experience , it makes things a whole lot easier

It can be quite distracting. If you go online to check your study group notifications you may be distracted by casual notifications as well as lose track of what you are doing. In cases like that you may also lose track of time which could have been used for studying.

This I agree with 100% It happens to a lot of people. Sometimes they spend hours when they are meant to just be "checking in".

I think there are actually apps or browser extensions that limit your time on sites like Facebook to boost your productivity. Has anyone ever used them?

LOL true!
Social media is addictive especially for youths who put themselves out there.
One thing i hate is that school children are taking bullying to another level by posting videos/statuses about others on social media. These videos are now blasted for all to see. It's worst enough that these children have to endure that pain but once a video is posted on the net, it can never be deleted. It can also serve as a good in one case for relevant authorities to do something about the situation. Social media is a bully's platform.

Lol very true. I actually don't mind the snack and food pictures, sometimes I even seek them out!
Another thing is that students can easily share answers to projects/research/homework etc without bothering to get into nitty gritty explanations. This can result in good marks and passing grades in a superficial sense when the information has not actually been internalized but technically, just copied or reiterated.

A lot of the time people go on their computer to do work and they have all the best intentions of completing X and Y but they never even start. They get so distracted by the networking.... Then they copy the wrong thing from their friends who copied it from someone or did it and then they themselves never go through and see where there could be mistakes.
Especially in university its hard to tell right from wrong sometimes unless you actually do work yourself.
