Agenda

• The Social Media Landscape • Purpose of project: the Graphic Design Real

World Classroom• Culmination of project: Public exhibition• Student projects using the Social Media Tools• How to make Social Media work for you

Imagine students improving lives, reaching millions, learning about the connectivity of content, all from their laptops. Ulster’s “FREE.show” project exemplifies the happy collision of education with social media.

Try applying the “Real World Classroom” model with free internet tools, and see how your students can design socially interactive projects in a format they use.

• The classroom never sleeps.

Social Media tools provide access to community, applicable to all content areas.

Imagine your students creating work to be shared in the real world, a place where everyone‘s welcome to critique, participate, produce, consume, inquire 24/7.
