  1. Learning through two distractive technologies in the high school setting Vanessa P. Dennen Stacey A. Rutledge Lauren M. Bagdy mobile phones + social media classroom learning? @vdennen @laurenbagdy
  2. Social media connects students … between classes and during classes.
  3. What role do phones and social media play in high school classrooms? Beyond “existence proof” (Borko, 2004)
  4. Research Questions In what ways do high school students and teachers use mobile phones and social media to support learning? • What activities do they engage in, and why? • What learning theories support these approaches? • How and why do they vary in level of innovation? What are the tensions that occur when mobile phones and social media enter the classroom?

Major Tensions • Teacher pedagogical content knowledge / feeling the need for change in one’s pedagogical approach • Distinguishing between on and off task behaviors. • Classroom management: pedagogy and phone policies • Maintaining appropriate teacher- student distance • Finding technology integration / curriculum • BYOD and account / app access • Wifi and bandwidth
  11. SNS Outside the Classroom Snapchat = homework help Groupme = group project collaboration
  12. Extending question How do the activities of contemporary classrooms shape students’ perceptions of how social media can be used to support learning?
