      abstract = {This open access book provides the theoretical and  pedagogical foundations for a promising new approach to  civic education: using social media to teach civics. While  many measures indicate that youth civic engagement has long  been in decline, many of these measures fail to take into  account all of the ways that youth can interact with civic  life. One of these understudied ways is through social  media, including platforms like Twitter, where young people  have the opportunity to encounter the news, engage with  people in power, and bring attention to the needs in their  community. Throughout this volume, Chapman explores how and  why teachers can use social media to teach civics, as well  as how it might meet the needs of students in ways other  approaches do not. Amy L. Chapman is Director of the  Collaborative for Spirituality in Education and a Fellow in  the Clinical and Counseling Psychology Department at  Teachers College, Columbia University, USA. Her research  interests lie at the intersection of social media, social  studies, and social justice, with a particular concern for  vulnerable and marginalized students. .},
