I see how engaging using social media can be for students
I see the importance of social media and having students use them to express their ideals on the subjection matters.
its important what you post
Students are changing and overhauling teaching methods by using social media applications is a great way to engage students in a familiar way. Faculty and campus administrators can employ social networking as a tool for engaging students by posting relevant articles, research and websites that students are frequenting on a very regular basis.
It is important to work with students to develop good social networking habits. As the teacher, be sure to include a good social networking policy, and educate students on the proper use of social networking in the context of the course.
Learned that using social networking and platforms can meet course learning outcomes. The goal is to be mindful of the use as these are typcially public.
It is important for students not only post about what they are learning, but critique what they think about others opinions.
When educators use social media in their teaching, they can have incredible learning and teaching outcomes.
I realize making a facebook page would be a great way to stay connected with the students outside of the classroom. I can use the page to post surgical videos for my students to watch and then open discussions for them to ask questions and make comments on the surgeries.
By understanding my weaknesses I can empathize with student apprehension.
All forms of social networking are valid if students are appropriately using techniques
I teach OT and it is common for cohorts of students to have a private facebook group where ideas are shared.
Hi,
I am not much for posting in or reading discussions so I understand when my students say "what email?" when I reference previous instruction. Anyway, I just realized how easy it will be to set-up a Facebook account for my online math class where I can answer specific questions from which everyone can benefit.
We have a discussion portion of our curriculum with required postings but this would be more open and feel friendlier, IMHO.
I will create my page after completing this training.
