Seminar 16A - Pedagogical Consideration in Implementing Social Media: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and More

Tuesday, October 12, 2010 | 9:30AM–1:00PM | Meeting Room 210C
Session Type: E2010
This session will focus on social media and how these tools can be used both inside and outside the classroom. Many of us are already avid users of social media because the marvelous technology allows us to do so many different things. This session will share perspectives from both the pedagogical side and online community-building sides, as well as encourage participants to become part of the conversation and share their experiences. Participants will be able to evaluate social media tools relative to their personal and institutional goals to determine which tool might be beneficial to achieve those goals. Attendees will also develop support networks through leveraging social media tools and sites to facilitate best practices and collaboration during and after the conference.
