Social Media

Facebook

Facebook Example

• Create a Facebook group which students can join.

• Students can finish their readings, for example, then get online and write a paragraph about what they’ve read, focusing their comments on the weekly topic.

Facebook Assignment Example

• ‘Twit Board’ – Notify students of changes to assignments, schedules, venues or other important information.

• ‘Summing Up’ – Ask students to read an article or chapter and then post their brief summary or précis of the key point(s). A limit of 140 characters demands a lot of academic discipline.

• ‘Twit Links’ Share a hyperlink – a directed task for students – each is required to regularly share one new hyperlink to a useful site they have found.

• ‘Twitter Stalking’ – Follow a famous person and document their progress. Better still if this can be linked to an event (During the recent U.S. Presidential elections, many people followed @BarackObama and kept up to date with his speeches, etc).

Twitter

• ‘Time Tweet’ – Choose a famous person from the past and create a twitter account for them; pick an image which represents the historical figure and over a period of time write regular tweets in the role of that character, in a style and using the vocabulary you think they would have used (e.g. William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar).

• ‘Micro Meet’ – Hold discussions involving all the subscribing students. As long as everyone is following the whole group, no-one should miss out on the Twitter stream. All students participate because a sequence of contributors is agreed beforehand.

Twitter

Blogs

• Teachers can use classroom blogs to engage students in discussions during and after the usual school day.

• They can post topics for discussion, additional classroom notes or information, classroom assignments and much more.

• A classroom blog will allow students to interact with their peers and teachers on a continual basis beyond the usual 45-90 minute class period.
