READINGS & ONLINE DISCUSSION
“ Social Media & Policy: Access, Use and Outcomes”
Last week we considered research on how to “teach” or “facilitate learning” with social media among various groups in various contexts such as K-12 education, college students, adults, and teachers as learners in teacher education.
This week we’ll consider the discussions we’ve been having about “mind” (various theories, aspects and types of learning) and “media” (broad and specific social media and media generally) in “society” as we consider policy perspectives in our discussion. What role do we as researchers play in informing and influencing policies? What policies do we need? What controversies exist in the policy realm related to our topic? How do we think about educational technology policy in the broader context of U.S. educational policy? These readings raise some of these questions.
Please read the three posted readings by Greenhow, et al. and Krutka, et al., and Ahn et al. as you think about the ONE posted discussion forum question for this week. Skim the other optional readings as your time and interests allow.
