W10 Q1 | Forum

If your last name begins with L-Z imagine that you have been asked by the head of an educational organization (e.g., high school, college, youth program, teacher professional development program, etc.) to present a proposal for enhancing students’ learning by adding a social media component. (Students could be high school students, undergraduates, practicing teachers, etc.). Drawing on theory and relevant research: 1) present a realistic recommendation for adding social media to the learning environment; 2) discuss the role of the instructor in implementing this vision, including the learning and/or teaching objective and the kinds of pedagogies or teaching methods and/or pedagogical beliefs and attitudes that are needed. Be sure to ground your recommendations in this week’s readings, but you may also bring in other readings from this course or outside it. Please specify the course, grade, age of learners and other factors you think are relevant to your recommendations. If your name begins A-K, imagine that you have been asked by the head of an educational organization to make a case AGAINST the integration of social media in a learning environment. Be sure to address #1 and #2 above with evidence from the readings and provide enough details about the factors (course, grade, age, etc.) that are relevant to your recommendation.
