INTRODUCTION
The Ghana Information Network for Knowledge Sharing (GINKS) and the International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) invited interested participants for an online discussion on the topic “the role of social media in the classroom”. The electronic discussion took place from the 19th – 21st June 2013 and was hosted on the GINKS online Discussion Group (Dgroups) platform.
The resource person was Mr. Ogochukwu Chidiebere Nweke, who is a youth activist and counselor, and an IT trainer with special focus in social media and how to use it in achieving change and progress in Africa. He is a lecturer at the African University College of Communications (AUCC), where he teaches New Media (among other courses), and serves also the Director of Students Affairs since 2010. To him, the African child should be encouraged to use the social media platform in doing everything he/she needs to do because the technology had been made available to their generation and for their time.
