Social Media, specifically Blogs, Twitter, and Wikis, when used in educational settings, allows for many opportunities to educate students about how to successfully participate in online communication. However, many states, districts, schools and teachers are subject to rules that limit these opportunities. Diana and I will be exploring the use of social media in the classroom, focusing on the difference between rules and laws that simply prohibit usage and projects and lessons that serve to educate and guide participation in social media platforms. We will explore projects that represent a balance between rules that protect and opportunities to engage in communicating via social media.
I love this topic! I am interested to hear the information you gathered! I am sure we will gain a lot of new information we were not aware of and information that will be useful.

This sounds really interesting!!! I am interested in finding out how it would be used in classroom settings. I am sure that we as a class will learn a lot of information that we may have not paid attention to.D aisy
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how often students themselves are involved in policy discussions, and if they are, how that influences the creation of rules and guidelines.
