The document discusses various social media platforms that can be used by educators including Pinterest, Twitter, and Google+. Pinterest is described as a photo sharing site good for visual learners but requires users to sign in. Twitter allows connecting with other educators globally through hashtags and lists. Google+ is well organized for groups, contacts, and sharing links and files. The author notes finding Google Classroom clunky compared to Google Docs for sharing course content. Overall social media provides valuable professional development for teachers though the large amount of available information can be challenging.

Slides for 6th Virtual Round Table Web Conference presentation, May 2013
Collaborating with Kids! by Michelle Worgan
Using Social Media in Higher Education
Using Social Media in Higher Education discusses how social media can be utilized across various functions in higher education including recruitment, student guidance, teaching, peer support, university communication, student and academic professional development, and research. Specific social media platforms are highlighted for each function such as using Facebook and wikis for student FAQs, blogs and Google Drive for project collaboration, and Twitter and LinkedIn for academic professional development and research dissemination. The document provides an overview of how social media can enhance and support key areas in higher education.
Educational blogs
Educational blogs are created for educational purposes to facilitate reflection, questioning, collaboration, and higher-order thinking by archiving and sharing content. Students can use blogs to journal about class discussions, reflect on lessons, share ideas for applying knowledge, and see themselves as contributors to professional communities. Blogging also helps students express themselves in writing and develop writing habits. Popular educational blogging services like Edublogs make it easy for teachers to create blogs and customize them to give assignments, collect student work, and conduct learning assessments and surveys.
Collaborating with technology handout
The document discusses collaborating with technology in the classroom. It provides links to resources from Kurtis and Lorna Hewson, including a presentation, Google forms and docs to submit and share technology tools used for collaboration. Some example tools mentioned are Polleverywhere for polling students, Kidblog for student blogging, Edmodo as a social media platform, Padlet for digital note sharing, Wikispaces for editable pages, and Google Forms/Docs and Dropbox for file sharing. The document encourages accessing these resources and tools to enhance classroom collaboration.
Social Media in Medical Education
This document discusses the use of social media in medical education. It begins by defining social media and explaining why students and educators should utilize these tools. Students today are "digital natives" who have grown up with technology and prefer collaborative, participatory learning over passive consumption. The document then provides examples of various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and YouTube and how they can be used for educational purposes. It emphasizes experimenting with different tools, developing an online learning network, and focusing on pedagogy rather than any single technology. Best practices for social media use in education are also outlined.
Cool Tools for Teaching
This document provides a lightning-fast introduction to various online tools that teachers and students can use in and out of the classroom, including blogs, RSS feeds, vlogs, wikis, podcasting, Flickr, social bookmarking, and more. It discusses what each tool is, provides examples of how they are used, and encourages reflection on how these emerging technologies could be implemented in the classroom.
Wikis for everyone
A wiki is a website that allows for collaboration where many people can come together and share ideas in an ongoing conversation. It contains a body of knowledge that people can share. Wikis are better than blogs, websites, or shared PowerPoints because they allow for collaboration. Wikis can be used for short or long term purposes depending on the audience, which could be a single class, subject, or entire school. They allow teachers and students to create and share content. Wikis have a structure and many widgets that allow for different types of content. The document provides examples of wikis and considerations for starting one, such as purpose and audience. It also discusses managing a wiki for educational purposes, including enrolling students and providing feedback.
Reppenhagen final presentation wbwp
This document discusses different web tools that can be used in the classroom, including wikis, blogs, Netvibes, and MyBigCampus. Wikis allow collaborative editing of web pages without programming. Netvibes aggregates news and information from across the web. Blogs can be used to document student learning, writing prompts, and communicate with students and parents. MyBigCampus functions like social media in a safe learning environment, enabling file sharing, discussions, and virtual learning communities. The presenter found Netvibes and MyBigCampus particularly useful, while Wikispaces was time-consuming with limited customization options. Overall, web tools can increase opportunities for learning and creativity in the classroom.

Technology Enabled Lives: Understanding the Social Media Use of the Under 30s
Technology Enabled Lives: Understanding the Social Media Use of the Under 30sMelanie Parlette-Stewart
This document provides an overview of using social media to engage undergraduate students. It discusses current social media usage statistics for those under 30 and examines potential issues like addiction. Specific platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and tools like Hootsuite and Tweetdeck are explored with examples of how they can be used to supplement course materials, connect with students, and share additional resources. Best practices around accessibility, image, attribution, and transparency when using social media in education are also covered.Social Media Trainer's Bag of Tricks
Social media tools can enhance training by making it more engaging, improving retention, and allowing for individualized learning. The document discusses how to think like a social instructional designer by planning audience and materials development before, using techniques like backchannels and surveys during, and leaving behind resources after. It then covers six specific social media tools - Google Forms, Delicious, Wikis, SlideShare, Twitter, and photo/video sharing - and how trainers can apply each one to different parts of instructional design. The key is to fully research the audience and integrate tools gradually to make trainings more social and interactive.
Web2.0 tools categorised
This document lists and briefly describes 40 different Web 2.0 tools that can be used in the classroom. The tools are organized into categories including annotation & note taking, writing & blogging, brainstorming & mind mapping, collaboration, communication, course management, creativity, curating, feedback, presentation, productivity, questioning, screencasts, and timelines.

innovating the curriculum through social media
This document discusses innovating curriculum through social media and technology. It notes that knowledge becomes outdated faster, there is more knowledge than can fit in a curriculum, and core skills are changing. This clashes with academia's traditional model of one-to-many broadcasting of finalized knowledge by authoritative teachers. However, social media allows for user-generated content, small-scale sharing, open works in progress, and networking. The document suggests ways to use social media like wikis, blogs and Twitter to develop curriculum collaboratively, crowdsource lecture questions, and make assignments social processes with student-created content and peer feedback. Issues like ethics, digital skills, and access are also noted.
Digital social networks
Why academics should consider digital social networks seriously and not as simply trivia for young people.
Communications, blogs, wikis, social networking (orkney)
Blogs, wikis, and social networks can benefit education in several ways. They allow for increased communication between students and teachers outside of class time. They also support collaboration and deeper reflective learning. These tools are largely free and scalable. Specifically, blogs are good for encouraging reflection and recording progress. Wikis allow for collaborative editing and documentation of thought processes. Social networks enable interactive dialogue and social interaction between a community of users.
Engaged Learning Using Web 2.0 Technologies
This document discusses several web 2.0 tools for teaching and learning including Google Wave, Live Question Tool, TextMeLater, Zotero, and YouTube/EDU. It provides overviews of the features and uses of each tool, including fostering collaboration, engaging students, creating surveys/forms, managing references, and sharing videos. The document encourages exploring these tools to enhance teaching with technology and collaborative learning.
Tips to increase student engagement
The document provides tips for increasing student engagement, including using engaging assessments that give choices and relate to students' lives, flipping the classroom to have students gain knowledge outside of class, using social media and pre-created content for learning, and providing visual and verbal feedback through tools like Google Docs. Gamification and interactive learning activities are also recommended to motivate students and keep them engaged.

Conole harnessing media
Harnessing new media for learning, teaching, and research. New technologies allow for more personalized and immersed learning. Learners are drawn to technologies but still rely on traditional methods. New media provides opportunities to reach more learners effectively through tools like social media, but this requires new digital literacies. Educators should rethink design with a focus on activities and experiences over just content. Blended real and virtual spaces can enhance conferences, networking, and publishing through collaboration and community building.
