names out there as soon as they can.

“I think students are sometimes surprised by how easy it is to connect with professionals,” Glass said. “A simple Google search for any profession will turn up many individuals and organizations who are active on platforms like Twitter.”

However, there are problems with putting class work on social platforms (平台). Many teachers, including Seidel, believe that social media and technology in general can easily distract(使分心) students. However, they hope they can find a way to use it properly.

“For teachers and students, technology has become both a powerful tool for learning and a potential distraction in the classroom,” Seidel said. “Not only can it improve collaboration, communication and creation in endless ways, but it can also serve as an infinite（极大的） distraction. Properly using technology in the classroom requires additional management from the teacher as well as a great deal of self-discipline (自律) from the students.”

Glass believes it’s very important for schools to teach students how to use social media. “As a teacher, I think part of my job is to help students understand how best to make use of it as thoughtful learners and creators,” said Glass.
