The many faces of social media: Attracting, supporting and retaining learnersDigital Capability
This document discusses using social media to attract, support, and retain learners for educational institutions. It outlines why social media is important given its widespread adoption in Australia. It then discusses different approaches to using social media, such as outwardly facing approaches to build brand awareness and customer loyalty, and inwardly facing approaches to support communities of practice and alumni. The document provides suggestions for content to engage learners on social media, such as student life, industry information, jobs, and courses. It also discusses how social media can support digital literacy, knowledge management through the 70-20-10 model, and recommends platforms that align with this model.
1) The document discusses many reasons why teachers should start blogging, including to stay up to date with changes in education technology, connect with other educators globally, and do collaborative projects with students.
2) A wide range of blogging project ideas for teachers and students are presented, such as classroom blogs, global collaborative stories and e-books, podcasting, and connecting with senior citizens.
3) Different types of blogs are explored like blogs for showcasing student work, using blogs as teaching tools, and following education technology blogs for new resources and ideas.
Cyber schools, also known as virtual schools, provide education delivered electronically that separates the teacher and student by time or space. The roles of the student, parent, and teacher in online education involve the student being self-directed, the parent serving as a learning coach to supervise and support, and the teacher creating the learning environment and providing instruction and feedback. Cyber schools offer flexible learning, individualized instruction to benefit different learning styles and needs, and the ability to learn with students from various locations. However, virtual education also presents disadvantages like requiring self-discipline from students, specialized skills from teachers, and lacking social activities compared to traditional schools.
The Wikipedia Global Education Program encourages professors to incorporate Wikipedia assignments into their courses to help students learn. Over 50 classes from universities in the US, India, and Canada involving 800+ students have participated. Students make contributions to Wikipedia articles as part of their coursework to gain experience with skills like critical thinking, writing, and digital citizenship. Professors assess student work based on reflections, portfolios, and the quality of their Wikipedia contributions.

The document then explores the history and evolution of social media. It addresses appropriate social media use for teachers, how students currently use social media, and ways to incorporate social media into the classroom, such as through Edmodo, Schoology and YouTube. It concludes with an exit slip asking educators to reflect on their social media use and create an infographic for students on safe social media practices.

Boyd began blogging about street literature after seeing a student read an adult street literature book. Street literature depicts stories set in urban neighborhoods and experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1960s and 1990s. It can be challenging to use in libraries and schools due to objections over content but also engages and challenges readers.
Here's a recent presentation I gave to the Youth Librarians of Illinois. "Resources that Help Us Represent," discusses how I have effectively used book vendors, publishing houses, websites, databases and books while working as a school librarian. Enjoy!
