Using Social Media in the Classroom, 2nd edition, delivers more than just an update to the – already very good – 1st edition. Updates on technologies & tools and how they are used in the classroom are there as expected, but the new, greater depth of treatment about educational games and mobile learning, now given an extra chapter each, really adds an extra dimension.
