How can I use social media, both as a teacher and as a student?

Social media can be used to connect and share information with others. As a teacher I can use that to share information with my students such as tweeting my lesson plans every week so that my students can see them. As a student, I can use social media to find out more information on a topic by searching. I also can keep up to date with the newest technology by following an account that gives such information.
