I believe that the study made by Buzzetto is extremely relevant to education in today's society. From his research, especially on Facebook, since it is the foremost leading social networking site, data was collecting supporting some key things. When reading his research, I knew already that there would be a escalation in posting, due to the fact that the students were probably already on Facebook. From there I thought that even if percentages in posting were raising that it would be off topic, which I then was proven to be very wrong. Staggering percentages were shown, presenting the fact that as the semester went on people were posting about important topics more frequently the the professor. I believe that from this study people will be more confident in teaching through social networks. If people start teaching through social networking I think that students will get into their subjects more and enhanced learning will take place.
