TeachPaperless: Response to a Criticism about Using Twitter in the Classroom - 0 views
-
Social Media is not a monolith. It doesn't tell you what to do. There are no rules. There are countless ways to use Twitter; the key is that the use of the social media needs to be fully integrated into the teaching -- specifically for the purpose of teaching the content and skills of the course. So, the trick is to figure out how to do that for your course. And there's a good chance that a PLN model isn't gonna work for your kids. As for WHY it's important for kids to take part in authentic social media (rather than the walled garden variety), I wrote a post yesterday where I tried to sort of lay out the framework of what we're looking at on the future grid of 21st century education. It's my attempt to argue what authenticity in education means now and for the future, and I'd welcome any criticism of it. Anyway, Social Media is what you make it. It's yours to tinker with. So, use your imagination.
