We want to talk with attendees -- as well as others around the interwebs -- about the role of social media in the high school and undergraduate classroom.
Is it possible to engage students with Web 2.0 tools in ways that meaningfully support learning? We will moderate a conversation about what’s worked and what hasn’t with social media in the classroom.
Because it's ScienceOnline, we want the session to be reflective of the audience's interest / experiences, so Lali and I are going to be tweeting some questions to get the conversation started.
The questions are below ... Lali will tweet & Storify the first few questions, and I'll tweet & Storify the last few. Feel free to comment here or to reply to one of the upcoming tweets.
Librarians, I'm also interested in how y'all use social media to engage with your students, whether in a specific class or your discipline or your library as a whole. Comments from other non-teaching academics also welcome!
If you do comment, please use the hashtags #scio13 #TagAcad so Lali and I can track your comments.
