Engaging Your School Community Through Social Media | Edutopia - 13 views

  • Schools are busy places, and parents need a trusted place to find the right information.

      This is an important aspect when using social media in the classroom.  Not every parent is going to take the use of various medias as good or credible and the more websites provided, the more students and parents will be overwhelmed by all the resources they need to know about.  However, by linking to it all through the school website, it gives these sources a greater air credibility than it may have before.

  • Use Facebook to celebrate the great things happening at the school!

      This is an interesting mindset, I know it is important for us to share what is happening in the classroom.  However, as pointed out later, it is important to police something like this.  Social media can bring out the worst in some people, and giving another area for this to occur may not be the best for every student.

50+ Tools for Differentiating Instruction Through Social Media | Edutopia - 21 views

  • Create playlists (like this one) to provide that variety.
    • jpb342
       
      One thing that can help make these playlists even more enriching is another application known as educanon, which I have recently discovered.  Here questions can be inserted into Youtube videos that will assess student understanding for what they just watched.  This way they aren't just watching a video, but are engaged with it as well.

  • media is most effective when we plan learning experiences based on content, process, and product (our lesson structure) and incorporate readiness, interests, and learning profiles (student voice).

      We constantly need to remember that social media by itself is never enough, we need to bend it to our uses and create experiences that benefit ourselves and our learners.
