EDUCATORS DON’T “GET”SOCIAL MEDIA

SOME THINGS REQUIRE LECTURES. PROFESSORS ARE SUPPOSED TO LEAD THE CLASS. COMPUTERS ARE DISTRACTING. GRADES ARE STILL FINE, STUDENTS ARE STILL SUCCESSFUL. WHY CHANGE WHEN WE DON’T HAVE TO? SOCIAL MEDIA IS “JUST FOR FUN”. THERE NEEDS TO BE A TEACHER-STUDENT BOUNDARY. NO. NO. NO.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT JUST:
IT’S A MINDSET

THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT CREATING
GROUPS
(OR TWITTER CHATS, FOR THAT MATTER)

IT’S ABOUT RETHINKING THE CLASSROOM AS A SOCIAL SPACE
OFFICE HOURS
HOMEWORK
CONVERSATION
GROUP WORK
GUEST SPEAKERS
RESEARCH
CURRENT EVENTS
