What Can Social Media Aggregation Contribute To Teaching & LearningThomas Ho
This paper describes the role that aggregation of social media can contribute to teaching and to learning. With respect to teaching, assessment is enhanced because the aggregate stream of social media activity produces an artifact that exhibits what and how students are learning and discovering. With respect to learning, engagement is enhanced because the aggregate stream of social media activity encourages students to interact with each other by cooperating and by commenting on others’ learning and discovery.
Especially promising is the prospect for the course (and subsequent learning) to “continue” even after the semester ends and even for assessment data to be collected longitudinally.

What can social media aggregation contribute to advocating for education?Thomas Ho
We in education just don’t often do a very good job of telling others what a great job we’re doing, do we? We can harness social media to get that job done so learn WHY we should do it and HOW we can do it!

Social media enables us to capture students’ learning artifacts so that we can assess learning. We can also use social media to document teachers’ activity in their Personal Learning Networks for which they would be accountable to create for their professional development. These can be thought of as students’ and teachers’ LearnStreams. Motivated by our experience with lifestreaming, we can aggregate our social media streams to generate LearnStreams! Once we have these LearnStreams, we can publish them to demonstrate our students’ learning and teachers’ professional development in order to “tell our story” in a more compelling way to our constituents who we hope would then advocate for us as we build financial and political support for education.
