7 Ways Teachers Use Social Media in the Classroom

EcriTech'4 : Des outils mobiles pour une école en mouvement Les technologies mobiles ont-elles le pouvoir de mettre (enfin, diront certains) "l'école en mouvement" ? Les nouveaux outils tels que tablettes ou smartphones peuvent-ils transformer l'espace, le temps, les modalités des apprentissages, voire bousculer les rôles, les connaissances et les représentations du monde ? Ces questions étaient au centre du colloque EcriTech´4, organisé par la Dgesco et l'Inspection, qui s'est déroulé à Nice les 11 et 12 avril. Mutations Jean-Marc Merriaux, directeur général du Scérén – CNDP, ouvre le colloque EcriTech'4 en soulignant combien les technologies mobiles instaurent un continuum éducatif et favorisent l'ubiquité, la capacité d'être là sans être là : les créateurs de contenus doivent s'efforcer de les adapter aux destinataires et prendre en compte la question désormais posée de la granularité des informations.

Using Social Media in the Higher Education Classroom Social media has changed the world. It has allowed people to reconnect with old friends from college, high school, and even elementary school. It has changed the way we shop, schedule appointments, plan vacations, and work. In addition, social media is changing the face of education and the very way in which we learn and think about what it means to know something. In every college and university, social media is being integrated in every way possible, including admissions, campus life, alumni relations, and in the classroom. Image: basketman / FreeDigitalPhotos.net At least a part of the admissions process is taking advantage of social networking, as Facebook is being used by students to help them decide which school to attend and college admissions offices are creating groups on the social networking sites to make their prospective students feel more like they are part of the community long before they arrive on campus. Social Media has Its Greatest (Potential) Impact in the Classroom

Twitter and Facebook Navigate Underserved Students Through the College Process by Cherise Lesesne Universities are working to exact a social media formula that makes the college process easier for students, staff and faculty alike. Facebook and Twitter were initially used at higher education institutions mainly to connect students to one another. The presence of social media soon grew to become a part of institutions’ business strategies. Through tailored marketing, recruitment and public relations strategies, social networks advertised a school’s presence. Now, each site’s ability to lure social interaction between prospective students and administration has begun the process of enabling a rather effortless transition for college students, particularly underrepresented students. For underserved students, one of the most plaguing issues is affording and accessing college, as the lack of resources has been a perpetual struggle. “Students are really having a difficult time trying to navigate through the rather complicated financial aid maze,” Bernadotte says.

Reflections on Teaching with Social Media – ProfHacker As I’m a little more than a month out from the semester’s end, I’ve been reflecting on different aspects of the semester: things that worked well, things that didn’t work at all, and things that could be tweaked for the future. In particular, I’ve been musing on how I integrated social media into my classes. My classes tend to be fairly technologically heavy for a number of reasons: my own research revolves around the use of technology within narratives; I believe that teaching humanities students to use different tools in the classroom teaches them transferable skills; and I like to experiment with how technology can change the classroom space. In other words, I use technology in the classroom for thematic, practical, and pedagogical reasons. I even have a technology policy in my syllabus. That being said, I used more social media this semester than I have previously. Twitter In three out of the four classes that I taught this semester, I asked my students to use Twitter.
