Why Integrate Social Media? • Social Media puts learning in the hands of the student: Web 2.0 encourages: Connectivity Depth of understanding Self-expression Learning (not teaching) Collaboration Personal Productivity Individual Pacing Web 2.0 allows learning anywhere, anytime; not just in one particular learning environment for an hour a day.
Why Integrate Social Media? • If we as educators want to extend their knowledge in and outside the classroom, it is important that we engage with them where they are! Students spend roughly 3-6 hours per week on social networking sites (…or the amount of time they are supposed to spend outside of class studying.) To-Do: 1. Integrate Social Media into curriculum 2. Breathe! (Yikes!)
Stats on Social Media Use • 83% of young adults (18-29 year olds) use social media (Pew Research Center, 2012) • 82% of college students reportedly login to Facebook several times per day (Quan-Haase & Young, 2010).
Using vs Integrating Tech • Using technology is a random and sporadic process where the main goal is to instruct learners on content not to engage them with content. • Technology integration is the planned and highly structured, purposeful use of technology with the ultimate goal being to engage learners and help them develop new thinking skills.
