                For You and the Classroom

How did I get here?

• 20 years ago…
• changing direction
• as I get older
• this is not going away – this is not a bandwagon
• “what’s basic has changed” – (Kist, 2010)
• can’t teach in a socially responsible way if you
  don’t know what’s going on
• social media is a tool
What is Social Media?




            image source: http://socialmediamarketingmadeeasy.co.nz/
Why should I be doing this?

• I use email – does that count?
• you need to go where your students are
• social media is part of the “new literacies”
• all writing is for publication – we (and our students) need
  to be prepared
• social media is:
        • conversation
        • digital citizenship
        •Interpersonal and Intrapersonal
                 (social and reflective)
Where do I begin?

• you are already doing social media activities in your classroom
          • think/pair/share
          • snowball activity
          • peer editing/review
          • gallery walks
          • quick writes

• sign up!
          •   Twitter
          •   start a blog
          •   Facebook (?)
          •   Goodreads
          •   use a feed reader – Google
          •   RebelMouse
          •   Pinterest
Blogging with Students
Blog platform options:

• Blogger (Google)
• Wordpress
• Edublogs
• Tumblr
• Weebly
• Typepad
• Blog.com


What I recommend:
FEARS?
What are we afraid of when it comes to social media?

• privacy
• student safety
• too complicated
• too much time
• is it just another fad?
• moving too rapidly
• I have nothing to say/add to the information that is already
  out there
• other?...
What now?

Baby steps…

• change doesn’t happen overnight
• do one thing, do it well, then add another layer
• make it a habit
        • www.poulinseducationmatters.blogspot.com
• talk to like-minded people – find out who they follow, and
  what social media engages them
• it doesn’t have to be perfect
• you are creating a positive digital footprint
