Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest - How Teachers Use Social Media [INFOGRAPHIC]

The massive growth in social media over the past decade or so has been hugely influential on almost every industry, and the teaching profession is certainly no exception – channels such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have quickly become very popular in the classroom.

This infographic takes a closer look at how teachers can (and do) use social networking to stay ahead in the game.
