Monica Batac presented on using social media in teaching and learning. She discussed the challenges teachers face in keeping up with students' technology use and the pressure to integrate social media. However, social media was not designed for education and poses risks if not used properly. Batac encouraged teachers to consider how social media aligns with their instructional approaches and to seek support through professional development and online communities. Her goal was to help teachers navigate social media and maximize its potential for teaching careers.
