Where is Social Media Taking Education?

Social media is a very rapidly expanding market that has many uses for individuals across all walks of life. Adolescents and young adults are the most frequent users of social media and spend much of their time learning or in an educational facility. Educational institutes may use this to their advantage by using social media as a medium to deliver their material to students who are already interested in that form of communication. Learnville.com is a website that allows members to join and share various educational videos or written pieces that they have discovered or created. This will be very useful as it creates a specific website that people will flock to for information that they need. This is very different from Youtube, as with searching, for example, catheterization one may come across many videos that in fact are not educational towards the user at all but with Learnville.com the search material that is displayed will be strictly educational and relating to what the user has searched. The website also has features that are usable by teachers, as they can create quizzes, graphs, calendars and much more that will be useful for displaying information to students. Unfortunately, this website is unavailable to the general public and is only offered in a BETA version to a select few people.
