During this introductory online session led by Jason Rhode on 9/28/2012, we explored what social media are and the pedagogical potential for use of social media in educational settings. We set the stage for future sessions to further explore use of social media tools and the design of engaging and innovative learning activities.
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using social media in education. It outlines how social networking promotes skills like collaboration, communication, problem solving and critical thinking. While advantages include varied learning environments and promoting advocacy, disadvantages include privacy issues, cyberbullying and addiction to social media. The document also provides examples of social networks commonly used in education like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and blogs.

Social media workshop for Duke faculty, 2013Cara Rousseau
This document discusses using social media in academics. It begins with an overview of platforms like Twitter, blogs and Facebook. For each platform, it provides examples of how Duke University faculty are using them, such as maintaining blogs related to their fields or using Twitter to enhance classroom discussions. The document concludes with next steps, recommending faculty create interest lists on Facebook and follow peers on Twitter, along with resources for learning more about using social media.
Given at SIM University Faculty Learning Day (July 25 - 28, 2012)
Online social media and interactive tools are often viewed to be at odds with the classroom experience. Rather than work against the draw of these gathering places, faculty can learn to utilise them appropriately within the context of a course. This presentation provides a tour of online communication tools and demonstrates how each can be customised to promote greater student engagement and interactivity within an academic setting. Among the tools to be discussed are Facebook and Twitter, Ustream and Spreecast (videocasting), Reddit (peer voting), Forums, Delicious (social bookmarking) and music tools.
UPDATED PPT on Role social media in teaching and learning dr manishankar chak...Dr.Manishankar Chakraborty
UPDATED presentation on Social Media and its role in teaching and learning for the workshop conducted by Dr Manishankar Chakraborty for the teaching staff members of Ibra College of Technology, Sultanate of Oman on the 29th of April 2013.
The document discusses learning objectives related to identifying different types of interactive media, creating an essay on social media use, and participating in a group activity. It then provides information on various types of interactive media like websites and video games. Social media is defined and prominent platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are described. Instant messaging is also covered, identifying popular programs and their features. Finally, various ways social media can be used in educational settings are listed, such as having students create character pages or following experts in their field of study.
The document discusses how social media is changing the role of education by allowing learning to occur outside of traditional institutions. Many benefits traditionally provided by higher education, such as access to resources, experts, and communities, can now be found on social media. However, it also creates challenges as the production and consumption of information has become more democratic and decentralized. The role of educators is shifting from gatekeepers of knowledge to guides who teach students how to learn, contribute, and navigate the online information landscape.
