Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to explore how the use of social media can support teaching and learning in schools. A social constructivist lens is used to explore how collaboration can facilitate the process. Some of the key concepts of social constructivism are outlined with a focus on the role of the teacher. Ways that social media are used in schools to support teaching and professional learning for teachers are presented. Discussion on ways social media was used during COVID-19 to connect students and teachers to support teaching and professional learning are investigated. The chapter concludes with possible future research directions.
