First, implementing technology requires a lot of time to set up and learn before the teacher can be expected to use it effectively in the classroom. Another point to consider is who will provide the devices that students will use to access social media? If you trust students to bring their own cell phones from home, then there are several questions to think about. Does everyone have access to a phone or tablet? Are their devices charged? Do everyone's devices have the same functionality across the board? If the school has the resources to provide the technology, will it be available and working when you need it? While these are just some of the certainly valid reasons to be hesitant, I believe the positives outweigh those
