This document discusses how social media can be used to support principles of good teaching practice and Bloom's taxonomy of learning. It provides examples of using Pinterest and Twitter in educational settings. Benefits include encouraging interaction and collaboration between students and faculty. Challenges include privacy concerns and maintaining community guidelines. Evidence suggests social media can be effective when used to solve problems and meet clear learning objectives, but instructors should limit the number of new tools, provide training, and evaluate outcomes.

Improving Retention in Online Courses -- Inside HigherEd webinarPatrick Lowenthal
Improving Student Retention in Online Learning
Tuesday, June 10, 2014 11:00:00 AM MDT - 12:00:00 PM MDT
Online learning continues to grow and make up a larger percentage of enrollments in higher education. However, over the years, institutions often report higher attrition rates for online courses than traditional face-to-face courses. As enrollments in online courses increase and online learning becomes a larger part of institutions' long-term planning, faculty and administrators are confronted with finding ways to improve retention in online courses and online programs. In this free webinar, presented by Academic Partnerships, the literature on attrition in online learning will be discussed as well as various strategies used to improve student retention in online learning.

Enquire Within Upon Everything: True Stories of the Wondrous WebAlan Levine
Keynote presentation for the eLearning Consortium of Colorado 2014 conference -- their 25th year of the conference; the firs took place a month after Tim Berners-Lee got approval for his World Wide Web project.
A Victorian era book represented the best technology of its time to organize, via a crude hypertext system, a collection of world knowledge. In the hands of a young boy growing up in the 1960s, it inspired a spirit of magic, wonder, and the vision of an open portal to the world of information. As an adult, he invented the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee's original vision was of "the Web being so generally used that it became a realistic mirror of the ways in which we work and play and socialize. That was that once the state of our interactions was on line, we could then use computers to help us analyse it, make sense of what we are doing, where we individually fit in, and how we can better work together."
As an open, connected space, the web remains a near infinite place we ought to revel that same wonder. Our educational careers begin in kindergarten, knowing intrinsically the value of sharing. Somewhere between there and graduate school, we lose track of this simple concept, be it worrying about theft of intellectual property or questioning the value of what we do. The open ecology of an Enquire Within Upon Everything web can undermine this limiting attitude and rekindle that sense of wonder. It's all about creating more potential serendipity. Let's celebrate the True Stories of what happens when educators share something openly on the web.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

11. Recommendations for incorporating SM
into your class
• Familiarize yourself with tool
before using it in your course
• Select a tool that accommodates
your objectives, solves a problem,
and is appropriate for the tasks or
skills to be learned
• Limit yourself to one new tool
at a time and keep it simple
• Take advantage of campus
resources available to you and
your students
• Include an evaluation plan Source: Image By John Atkinson @ http://wronghands1.wordpress.com/gallery-3/#jp-carousel-1103
12. Student Considerations
• Provide students with how-to instructions and privacy guidelines
• Demonstrate the learning benefits
• Do not share grades
• Offer options to students about how to represent themselves online
• Inform students who will have access to their contributions
• Develop community ground rules

Quick Introductions – Name, Affiliation, and what you do
One definition is - Websites and apps that enable users to share images and video, exchange ideas, consume, create and share content or to participate in social networking. This is an image of “old school” social networking….
User Generated (Game Changer compared to old days) So exciting that the technology today empowers both faculty and students and allows them to easily create, chat, share, exchange ideas, interact with other students, instructor and the world.
Back in the Day, and not that long ago, we were unable to do this ourselves and had to rely on a techie to create interactive spaces and content.
Many of our students have been using SM for, we need to help them leverage it for both formal & informal learning.
Social Media applications, just like any technology, when used thoughtfully for education, can help our learners “reach new heights & peaks” by making it easier to integrate these principles of good practice in their courses.
Many educators are also making the connection of social media to Bloom's taxonomy classifications. Within Blooms domains of learning, learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels – Remember/Understand, Apply, Analyse, Evaluate, Create. This iPadagogy Wheel is a visual representation of how SM and apps support learning at the different levels.
Many of you may be familiar with Quality Matters standards – design standards for online and blended courses based on years of educational research. Qm Standards overlap with both of these frameworks and social media and technology are directly referenced within the essential QM standards. QM Standard 6 is specifically about Course Technology and many of the supporting QM annotations reference use of social media.
Does anyone have any ideas they have learned from this conference about how they may incorporate SM into their teaching, or even in their professional lives?
Pinterest is a free site for organizing information you find on the web. Pins are visual bookmarks for stuff you find anywhere around the web or on Pinterest. Boards are where you collect Pins by theme or topic. Most pinterest users have several boards.
Course: Web Design & Management, This course is an introduction to the tools and methods of user-centered design to design.
Ray Lam - Integrated this into his class for the first-time because it was a more visual way for students to share their mood boards
Twitter founded in 2006
Very popular = been around much longer and it is very simple to use
EDUCAUSE is a leader in the use of within higher education and ELI is a focus area of Educause committed to the advancement of learning through the innovative application of technology.
Seeking of Evidence of Impact program led by the ELI teaching and learning community to find current effective practices that enable the collection of evidence to help faculty and administration make decisions about adopting and investing in best practices
When you introduce a new technology or sm activity, how do you know if it was successful?
And if it is successful, think about working with ELI to create a case study
Minds Online – Michelle Miller, Professor of Psychology and cognitive scientist writes about how cognitive & brain science can help us shape and refine ways in which we used technology to promote learning
