8 Social Media Strategies for Your Classroom - Getting Smart by Adam Renfro - PLN, soci... - 7 views

but social networking is here to stay.
-
It's definitely here to stay so time to take 1 tool and make it work for you - help you connect to others, develop yourself professionally, etc.
-
That is definitely true, we aren't going to regress only progress so we better get up to speed now of we will be left behind and out of touch with our students! Nicole Cartledge

I was watching Jeopardy, and one of the contestants was a teacher that did not even own a phone. I thought to myself, how is he going to be able to teach these students how to be smart with their social media experiences if he does not even use them. While I understand the concept, I think it is best if we all just get with the program and understand that it is not going anywhere anytime soon. We should prepare ourselves to help our students be smart with social media instead of simply turning our heads.

Social media is here to stay! It love the concept of how education is changing to incorporate more social media in the classroom. Not only is it an advantage for students learning, but it also helps teachers stay connected with one another and allows collaboration 24/7. -Lauren Neary

I think that we have an opportunity here to use social media for good and to show naysayers how much of a positive impact social media can have when applied appropriately and thoughtfully. Even though it may feel overwhelming at times, we should try and incorporate social media when it is practical and beneficial. Ideally, schools would have all the necessary supplies so teachers can have ipads/computers at their disposal...one day

Personally social media will be the next wave of teaching innovation. Especially if the surface commerical goes true. I don't know if anyone else has seen the teacher commerical for microsoft, but it talks about a classroom environoment where each student will learn using a tablet and not just the blackboard. So if this scenario where to come true, we will need social media more than ever.-Dan DiBona

Social networking is not going anywear. We all, (children and adults) have grown comfortable with social media. I really do not see society drifting away from social media devices because of all the positive outcomes which come from utilizing it, especially in an educational setting.
-
Yes, Social networking is here to stay and it getting more and more pleaced in the school system, so we as teachers have to make it a positive devices in the classroom. Great post.

Twitter

I Twitter is the tool you'd like to "master", I suggest you look into the hashtags/chats I posted on our class website. You can attend these through Twitter and learn so much!

Dr. Fritz, I did learn about twitter in this class, I would alway thing why do I want to tell others what I'm doing every min. of the day. After this class I see that you can learn alot of information on twitter, you can share places to research information pertaining to school, and class information. Again I'm so glad I was able to take this class to learn more about twitter, and I have been able to learn more about Linkedin as well. Great information. Bernice

Flipping your classroom allows you to double your teaching capacity and extend the learning day for students.

It is very interesting to see the concept of a flipped classroom here, as I just came across this article (http://www.edutopia.org/blog/biggest-hurdle-flipping-your-class-jon-bergmann) earlier this week. Filming lectures and creating videos allows students to access the information on their own later and gives you time and opportunity to work with students who need more help, as this quote states, and this is wonderful. The article I linked to argues that a truly flipped classroom takes this concept further and requires students to create the content for themselves and create their own learning. I think that including opportunities for both will be very helpful for both the students and for us. I wanted to find out more about what a "flipped" classroom really is, so I did some research and came across this article http://www.edutopia.org/blog/rethinking-the-flipped-classroom-idit-harel-caperton that I think gives a pretty good explanation of what it is and discusses the pros and cons of the "flipped model." This http://www.edutopia.org/blog/film-festival-flipped-classroom links to a playlist of videos in a sort of "film festival" of flipped classrooms. If you are interested in what all this is, check the links out, it helped explain it all for me! - Emi Blaser

Thanks for the article. This is the first time I have heard of flipping the classroom but I absolutely see the benefit. I think the point you made about allowing the teacher time to give individual attention is a very big deal, especially in my field of special education. 'Doubling your teaching capacity' is an immeasurable help! Nicole Cartledge

Something to remember as well is that flipped can work at any age. It does not have to be full teacher powerpoint lessons given for homework. This idea can be even for kindergarten level to get a head start on the learning process so when they come to school, they are prepared to do the hands-on learning part. Nicole, I would suggest looking more into this, as I use it in my student teaching classroom and it is amazing! Coming from a special education background originally, I think it would be extra beneficial to your field of study. Your students learn in a much different way, and anything that can help enhance their learning in order to reach those IEP goals is a big deal. While not many special education teachers like to give homework to their kids, I would suggest using it because you may see a great improvement in you mild/ moderate and learning impaired students!
-
Abigail, great point about using it in even the youngest classrooms! I can see how it would be very beneficial for kids who are struggling and need to see a lesson again. I'd love to hear more about how you used it in K- what kinds of lessons did you do it with, how did you structure the time in class? Thanks! -Emi Blaser

Thanks for the suggestion. Since I haven't had hands on with teaching in a special education classroom yet it only seemed like it would be very beneficial so I am encouraged to hear that you have seen results with mild to moderate category students. I am definitely incorporating this once I am in the classsroom. It really provideshelpful support before a lesson to activate learning, during to provide multple perspectives and free the teacher to further engage or explain, and after as a review. Thanks again.
