can it be used in the classroom?

is it important?

So, What the Heck Do We Do with Social Media?JUNE 24, 2012

Social media is arguably the single most disruptive innovation in the history of industrialized civilization.

It's redefining how we engage with each other, how we do business, how we get our news, how we spend our free time and how we revolt against repressive regimes. It's no wonder that people are terrified of it. And to that end, it's not surprising that many educators find themselves in schools where social media is blocked -- and/or with draconian social media policies in place.

Technology in Schools

September 12, 2012

• Recent studies by the Pew Research Center indicate that 9 out of 10 teens use social networks, and most have a smartphone, iPod or e-reader. While many school administrators and teachers continue to ban the use of these remarkable digital learning tools, the “results-only learning environment” embraces them.

• Give a student a 20-problem math worksheet, a pencil and a calculator, and she’ll develop a case of narcolepsy before your eyes. Give her a real-world scenario that requires application of the same skills, team her with a peer or two, ask them to use their tech toolkit to solve the problem, and you’ll witness the electricity of a ROLE. Even elementary students can shoot videos of problem-solving activities using a mobile device. Then they can share the videos on an Edmodo class site; a blog; an online post-it wall, such as Padlet; or a virtual reality app, such as Aurasma.

• The key to success in this progressive workshop setting is providing a choice of web tools and devices that students can use to demonstrate mastery without the teacher’s vision of the work product getting in the way.
