Social Media would be a great way to teach Appropriate Digital Citizenship. Not only would students benefit from this, but I feel there are many parents who need this information as well. I'm not sure what this would exactly look like, but I do see that with the right planning and set up this could be a very powerful tool for teaching.
I also feel that elementary level students are in a difficult space, technology speaking. They witness older kids using social media, they watch as celebrities and all those around are popping up on the newest social media, but they are still so very gullible that it can sometimes be difficult to discern what is appropriate and what is true.
Bottom line, if I had to choose, I would use Twitter for my students and my classroom.
