This talk aims to uncover the ethical conundrums surrounding the use of social media as a pedagogical tool or as a means of communication within the classroom. Student and instructor social media usage on several platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Wordpress blogs will be discussed. Slack usage will also be highlighted as a backchannel means of communication to avoid significant ethical issues like digital redlining, hypervisibility, and trolling. The emphasis of our discussion will be the consideration of student agency and student perspectives in social media classroom usage.
