Is social media part of the future of education? I guess it depends on who you ask. Neil Selwyn argues, "Outside of the narrow 'Ed-Tech bubble' very few people are engaging with these discussions. We therefore need to move beyond self-referential self-congratulation and stimulate a new phase of discussion, dialogue and conversation about what social media is – and what social media could be – with everyone involved in education." Perhaps. Or it could be that people outside the narrow 'Ed-Tech bubble' aren't informed, don't know about the new technologies, and won't be a significant part of the future of education. This is especially the case is, contra Selwyn, the future of education means something other than fixed curricula and traditional methods.
