This document discusses merging social networking technologies like Edmodo into book clubs for middle school students. It provides context that preservice teachers have used Edmodo for classroom management and will now lead book clubs. It notes difficulties with middle school book clubs and lists literacy goals. The document then describes an example activity where students take on roles as historical women figures and interact on Edmodo, meeting engagement, enhancement and extension goals. Finally, it discusses transferring the Edmodo model to developing discussion in middle school book clubs.

Making social connections: the importance of empathy, storytelling and re(bui...Sue Beckingham
This keynote draws upon the seven principles within the Social Media for Learning Framework (Middleton and Beckingham 2015) as a lens to highlight the different aspects that have informed some of my approaches to learning and/or teaching. I will share my experiences as an educational developer, lecturer, academic adviser and as a returning student. Stepping into these different shoes, the one constant is the importance of making social connections. This can be transformational personally and for the staff or students you work and learn with.
Presented as part of our "Blended Learning" month at PLU, this presentation covers the basics of blended learning and why it is an effective means of instruction.
