Social Media in the Classroom
This document discusses using social media in the classroom, both for teaching with social media tools and teaching about social media literacies. It provides examples of social media tools that can be used to access resources, archive lectures, facilitate backchannel discussions, support collaboration, ensure proper citation, assist with literature reviews, organize course materials, offer alternative presentations, and get feedback. It also discusses literacies around social media like privacy, participation, intellectual property, research skills, and employability skills that students can gain from studying social media. The document emphasizes that teaching with social media focuses on enhancing classroom delivery and interaction using tools, while teaching about social media focuses on developing related literacies, practices, and skills.
