"Innovative Methodologies for 21st Century Learning, Teaching and Assessment: A Convenience Sampling Investigation into the Use of Social Media Technologies in Higher Education"

Nice information I enjoyed reading the abstract and wondering how I could adapt some of the ideas for my workflow within education.

This article includes a link to a blog started by one of this teacher's students on "educating the educators" about social media.

Three educators share their favorite social media sites to use within their classrooms. Diigo, Instagram, VoiceThread, Scoopit.com, Pinterest, and Feedly help these educators stay up-to-date while keeping their students engaged.

In the old days, it really mattered what went on your résumé or what degrees you had. But increasingly, people are measured by the footprint they leave on the Internet.That whole notion of portfolio-based credentialing - you're showing your actual work - is a big part of how social media affects education.

A study on the use of Social Media for teaching and learning by Baiyun Chen and Thomas Bryer of UCF

Media literacy is suddenly a front-burner issue for schools, thanks to the recent presidential election, a spate of reports on "fake news," and new research demonstrating just how ill-equipped young people are to critically evaluate information they encounter online and via social media.

Pinterst is a great social media site for teachers to use to find diy (do it yourself) teacher materials, classroom management techniques and various other great ideas to use in your classroom for your students. I would highly reccommend this social media site because it is very easy to save the ideas that you find interesting and to go back and revisit those ideas later on at any time.

Nice article that reminded me that I can't always force students to use the social media I want them to use, I have to learn about what they are using.
