This is another recent article written on the use of social media in education, particularly by younger students.

This article is a recent discussion of the need to use social media in teaching English language arts in BC.

This is a summary in point form of the competencies expected of graduates of secondary school in the are of English Language Arts.

"However, perhaps the most exciting element of Diigo from my perspective, is the insight it will give me as a teacher into the students' research process. Rather than having vague status-update conversations with students, where I'm typically assured that everything is "going well" (a response which, in its vagueness, I can neither confirm nor deny), I, by virtue of being connected to my students' Diigo networks, would be able to look at their sources, and more importantly, their annotations for those sources, and give them specific feedback about their level of engagement and depth of research. Not only would this ability allow me to see what progress they've made on their research, but it will also help students develop a clearer sense of what constitutes valuable active reading and how one distinguishes salient, useful information from that which is less valuable."

This is an evaluation of social media tools for classroom use.
