We all know the importance of social networks in today’s society, where the majority of the population has accounts on different platforms. Important factors that influenced the expansion of social media are the rise of smartphones, the use of WIFI networks, and especially the use of Instagram and Facebook. According to a recent study elaborated by the Pew Research Center in 2015 found that 71 percent of teens use more than one social networking site.
Our blog is especially directed to young people (ages 12-16), who are in the high school, and we know that schools have been enforcing phone-off policies for years, but we think that is time to invite social media into the classroom. With a wide range of platforms, social media can be used as a useful tool to connect with new ideas and stay informed about events in our society, as well as a new tool that students can use to express themselves.
For that reason, our blog has two social networks (Instagram and a Facebook page) where we will be publishing different posts, related to the learning of the English language, as well as different activities that you can carry out to improve your English, and information and curiosities about the British culture.
