Social Networks & Education

-

Social Media is such a big business, education cannot ignore it.

Echo Chamber
  • You select what you want to read about it
  • You make critical decisions on what you want to experience
  • Your stream of blogs and microblogs
  • The forums you want to be in
  • You select the information based on who you trust
How students gain information
  • How adults and youth gain information and use information is different
  • Teens (54%) get news from social media
  • More and more adults get news from social media, however, many feel this is a problem and are concerned by the mix of news that people see each day.
  • Teachers use social media to get new teaching ideas, find resources, stay on top of trends and news and connect with other educators
Cybersafety is a major concern facing schools
  • Teachers & schools need a social media strategy
  • Strategies to increase learning engagement
  • Strategies for inclusion
  • Strategies for co-creation
  • Strategies to protect student and teacher identity
Social media is an ecosystem
  • It changes rapidly
  • It is complex
  • It is about people interacting with people
  • It is about clear communication
  • It requires cognitive input
  • It is about influencing other people
  • It is about networks
The challenge
  • Enabling collaboration based assessment
  • The classroom is about interaction, not the individual 
  • The rapid change from one social media to the next
  • Use of personal accounts
  • Engineering dynamic feedback loops
  • The learning shift is not the technical use but the actual communication
Teacher Role
  • The teacher is not the facilitator
  • The teacher is the change agents
  • Teach participation
  • Stimulate communication and collaboration
  • Teach diversity of information
  • Teach how to seek, receive and apply feedback
  • Teach how to produce creative solutions

A Holistic Approach to Life

  Imagine a world where people find joy and purpose in various leisure activities and where community development and individual growth are approached holistically. Well-being encompasses health, education, the economy, and the environment, and urban spaces are harmonious connections between humans and nature. People of different ages come together in shared spaces to engage in activities that foster continuous learning and skill development. Technological advancements synergise with nature to enhance the natural environment while promoting community engagement and sustainable living. In this city, people actively think critically and problem-solve to address local and global issues. Personal fulfilment, societal responsibility, and collective well-being are the values that guide this intelligent and living city.

And then we rested exhausted.
