Reactions from students on Twitter - 21 Oct 2011

16. But what about when things go wrong?
Because as well as opportunities, there are risks…

17. Social networking digital citizenship
Don’t
take
it
for
granted
that
adults
who
are
acLve
users
of
social
networking
services
know
how
to
behave
appropriately
online…
Talk openly and honestly about feelings

18. Freedom of speech
Respect, impression management, personal opinion

19. Blurring boundaries
Peer

levels
and
disciplines,
educaLon
and
industry

20. Blurring boundaries
Ex-students, industry professionals, tutor-learner roles

30. Serendipity and opportunity
Learner agency

31. Ethical issues
What
(posts)
do
I
share
with
my
network?
What
effect
might
this
have
on
learners?
Educators
‘perform’
online,
only
sharing
the
good
stuff
–
what
about
when
things
go
wrong?

32. To summarise…
Leave space in the course to allow for play, emergent curricula,
serendipity and opportunity
As network involvement increases,
so does the likelihood of ad hoc
opportunities. Invite
suggestions from learners,
encourage them to use
THEIR networks
These are personal tools, increasingly
accessed on personal devices. Be open
and encourage learners to bring their
ideas/practices/networks on board!
