We are social beings“Human beings are social creatures–not occasionally or by accident but
always. Sociability is one of our core capabilities, and it shows up in almost every aspect of our lives as both cause and effect. Society is
not just the product of its individual members; it is also the product of its constituent groups”
(Clay Shirky, Here comes everybody, 2008)

Social Media as a global phenomenon
Internet users continue to spend more time with social media sites than any other type of site.

Social Media as a Space to Learn
We need to live and teach and learn where the students live and teach and learn. That means that we have to stop blocking to their spaces and go to their spaces. So we explore their world.
(Stephen Downes, Groups vs Networks, 2007)
