Myths & Concerns about Social Media

16
HOW DO YOU APPROACH INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY?
17
Integrating Technology
How do you include technology in your practice?
▪ Find a tool and figure out how to use it with your students/staff
▪ Think about what you already do with your students/staff and then how technology could deepen or expand on the lesson (POST)
▪ Think of a challenging task and how technology might help
18
POST Method
▪ P is People. Know the capabilities of your audience. Know what scaffolding they’ll need.
▪ O is objectives. Pick one. Decide on your objective before you decide on a technology. Then figure out how you will measure it.
▪ S is Strategy. Figure out what will be different after you're done. Imagine you succeed. How will things be different afterwards? Imagine the endpoint and you'll know where to begin.
▪ T is Technology. A community. A wiki. A blog or a hundred blogs. Once you know your people, objectives, and strategy, then you can decide with confidence.The POST Method: A systematic approach to social strategy by Josh Bernoff 19

Teach Netiquette and some of the language of email/text: LOL, IMHO, etc
Teach some of the basics like cleaning your mailbox, setting up email filters and folders
Set up a class email newsletter and send out important information on a regular basis. Students can add to it. 28http://busyteacher.org/9194-esl-classroom-facebook-social-networks.html
WEBSITES AND BLOGS
Many instructors maintain a class website. Put students in charge of this project. They can then set up their own profiles on the site
Set up a class blog. Have students blog about a book you are reading or other assignments. To keep the discussion going, the teacher can periodically comment on the blog and require students to also comment at certain intervals. The topic can change according to what is happening in class and what students are studying
