W4 Q1
What aspects of social media (initially termed ‘Web 2.0’) do you think offer affordances for, or could be supportive of, learning in certain contexts? Why do you think that? First, start by explaining your theory of learning (e.g., constructivism, behaviorism, constructionism, activity theory, etc. There are MANY theories of learning from which you can choose). Next, consider how the technology’s affordances, on the one hand, and the theory of learning you hope to facilitate or enact, on the other hand, could be synergistic, or mutually support each other. You should also choose a SPECIFIC social media to bound your answer (e.g., social network sites, microblogging services, wikis, video-sharing sites, photo-sharing sites, blogs, etc.). The optional readings by Carr and Shirky may also help with this question, although not necessarily based on the social media and learning theory you choose.
