PLEASE NOTE: Separate registration and fee is required to attend this seminar.

Session Type: E11
"Social mobile" can meet various pedagogical needs through content delivery, broadcasts, and announcements, as well as through back-channel communication and feedback. Social mobile can also facilitate experiential learning activities, such as role-playing and simulations. Although educators are beginning to integrate social media and mobile technologies into the curricula, sound pedagogical best practices and research supporting effective uses is lacking. We will fill this gap by facilitating activities to identify the ways in which social mobile will improve learning in the classroom. More specifically, we will illustrate examples taken from actual educational uses and help the attendees develop their own social mobile learning activities in order to demonstrate its ability to increase course interactivity and engaged learning. We will also share a social mobile learning model that encompasses social media and mobile learning opportunities, which are so closely tied together that they are impossible to separate. Please Note: a laptop is required for this seminar.
