Ph.D. Oral Defense presentation
This document summarizes Mike Nantais' doctoral research on the use of social media in teaching from the perspective of teachers. The research involved case studies of 9 teachers who incorporate social media into their practice in various ways. Key findings included reasons for using social media including connecting with students, supports for and barriers to use such as technology issues and time constraints, ethical concerns, and impacts on teaching practices and student empowerment. Teachers provided advice such as learning about tools before using them and linking use to curriculum.
