108. How can social media get students excited about learning? with Librarian Sara Day

Social media has transformed the way we interact with the world. Nearly half of teens are on TikTok multiple times a day. While some schools have restricted social media usage, other educators have embraced these tools to engage teenagers and get them excited about learning.

And how can social media help students learn?  This week, Kevin is joined by Sara Day to discuss how educators can use social media to engage students and young people.
