Editor's Notes
- Why should educators consider incorporating Web 2.0 and social media tools into learning and assessments? Research has shown that web 2.0 tools help facilitate personalized learning through sharing and collaboration. Chen and Bryer note that leaners gather information through connecting with others’ knowledge using social media. In other words, social media offers everyone a chance to learn from each other. And lastly, Friedman and Friedman states that web 2.0 tools foster democracy, inclusivity, and also promotes creativity.
- Before deciding on what particular Web 2.0 or social media tool you would like to incorporate into your classroom, you should consider the available technologies of your school/district, and then decide on the educational purpose or goal. After you have chosen the tool, you will then need to consider student safety, network security policy, and parent and school permission. In other words, do your homework! If your district has a community liaison, you may want to engage him or her in this process.
- There are an enormous amount of Web 2.0 tools available for K-12 educators. If you are not sure where to start, Blogs or Wikis is a great place for beginners. You can also research the myriad of tools available and choose one that fits your particular teaching style and technological level. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/121/254126209_e34a70abcc.jpg
- A simple google search will elicit some great ideas of using blogs with your students. From journaling and reflection, to book reviews, thoughts on current events, debates, photo analysis, digital citizenship, and more, allowing your students to work in this digital media environment will engage them in ways they’re engaged in every day on social media, chat, and email with their peers. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6086/6157134404_4680b3edf3.jpg https://www.theedublogger.com/2015/10/15/50-ideas-for-student-blogging-and-writing-online/
- When using a Wiki with your students, the ideas are only limited by your imagination. Start with one activity and build from there. Some ideas include an historical fan club, debates, news or current events, have students find errors in writings and correct them, students can create stories together, round robin style, but documented on the wiki with who posts what and when. Teach students to organize and document group projects. These are just a very few of the possibilities. You are encouraged to google “Using wikis in your classroom” for more ideas!
- There are numerous social media tools as well. Edmodo is probably the most education friendly tool available to the K-12 landscape. However, for older students, Facebook and Twitter are relevant tools that most older students are already using, so why not start with the familiar? Given the right educational purpose, permissions, and guidelines, these social media tools can become a powerful medium for student-centered learning. https://farm9.static.flickr.com/8246/8468788107_255777d512.jpg
- A simple google search will yeild a variety of ideas of how to incorporate Facebook into your classroom. Once you have received a green light to move forward with this social media tool, start with one activity then build from there. Elicit feedback from your students and consider the possibilities. Some ideas include historical figure fan pages, primary source interviews, and “live’ student portfolios where students can track their learning progress, and also curate their learning resources. Facebook offers a platform to teach students about digital citizenship and digital literacy—we have an opportunity to teach our young people how to navigate the plethora of information available to them, and we should be taking advantage every chance we get! http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_1quzP48b5k/VUzlLyjGCvI/AAAAAAAAAJA/YpHNBrsOPmo/s1600/fac.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Facebook_icon.svg/256px-Facebook_icon.svg.png 99 Ways You Should Be Using Facebook in Your Classroom [Updated] May 21st, 2012 written by Staff Writers http://www.onlinecollege.org/2012/05/21/100-ways-you-should-be-using-facebook-in-your-classroom-updated/
