Using Social Networks to assist with
learning and teaching
“ICT-supported learning is a key motivator for the majority of 14-19 year
olds. The opportunity to collaborate with their peers, to create their own
material and to personalise and reflect upon their learning, leads them to
engage more effectively. This engagement is a key element in
improving retention and achievement for this age group.”
