Next New Thing

A new type of media would be a social media platform used solely for classroom or school-wide activities.  Sure students and educators can use available social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook to communicate, but I feel like the mix of academics with social life often leads to distractions and unfinished work.  This new type of social media would provide students and educators ways to communicate privately as well as share different types of media with one another.  Collaborative work would be done more easily, free of distractions.  School events can also be communicated using this media and input can be shared within the group.  This would make scheduling and preparation a lot more convenient.
