As an educator, we cannot oppose this ongoing trend. I suggest we should jump out of
the traditional teaching framework. Transfer of knowledge should not be one way
only. Teachers can be the facilitator on the collaboration between students (Anderson ,

group the students and urge them to take photos or $ideo clips and upload to a social
media platform for sharing.
