Building social media for educators final presentation
- 1. Building Social Media for Educators Submitted by Tom O’Brien Summer 2017
- 2. My prior experience in social media Facebook Personal “Professional”—Social media professional firewall LinkedIn account Unconnected otherwise, by design
- 3. Microblogging: Twitter Intentionally avoided in the past Useful component of a personal learning network (PLN) Connections with professional peers and professional organizations Natural “filter” of content Successes and challenges Successes Challenges Tweeted approx. 30 times Managing time Following nearly 90 people/professional organizations 140 characters or less Interacted around important content Fluency with hashtags Pedro Rivera liked one of my tweets!
- 4. Social Bookmarking: Diigo Brand new concept Plethora of uses Shared resources Vetted resources Shared NOTES! Successes and challenges Successes Challenges Found, saved, annotated online sources More efficient means of organizing entries? Used tags effectively Joined one group
- 5. LinkedIn Prior experience “Shell” account Not seeking employment, etc. Great way to make connections, see “degrees of separation” Successes and challenges Successes Challenges Developed a much more robust profile Utility if not seeking employment? Redundancy with Twitter for sharing articles?
- 6. Pinterest Brand new to me Graphically pleasing Similar to Diigo, with less utility Successes and challenges Successes Challenges Created two boards Redundancy with Diigo? Pinned interesting content Organization of pins?
- 7. Wix Prior interest in web design with no experience No coding necessary Plethora of templates Successes and challenges Successes Challenges Developed a basic website Not intuitive Limitation on images (or misuse of template?)
- 8. Final products Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tom__OBrien Diigo: https://www.diigo.com/user/obrientom LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-o-brien-0a5b8923/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/obrien2078 Wix: https://obrient4.wixsite.com/tomobrien Most useful? Twitter and Diigo
- 9. Moodle and online learning Pros Cons Online learning Work at own pace Minimal interaction with classmates “Attend” class whenever and wherever Minimal synergetic interactions Ultimately, what is your priority at the time: convenience or synergy? Moodle as a student Fairly intuitive if well-designed Not intuitive, depending on design Forums for discussion Moodle as teacher There’s a way to do everything you want to do Not intuitive at all in design
- 10. Thank you!
