One idea you might try - start each class with a YouTube video that relates to that day's topic.
Why is YouTube considered Social Media?
Remember the simplified overview of social media - because anyone can create a video, upload it, comment, and rank it, it's also social media.
Create an account and then mark your favorite videos or subscribe to channels that relate to your classroom or subject. Encourage students to do the same.
If YouTube is blocked or you have a slow Internet connection, you can download videos to your PC to use in your class. It's easy to do, you just need room for the video on your hard drive. (For example, a 2 1/2 minute video downloaded in MP4 format ended up being about 8MB.)
At http://keepvid.com, copy the link to the video and click the Download button. (The latest version of Java is required.) You can save these videos in many different formats.
