Dean Long, of LAUS, only needs two minutes to perfectly explain how every educator should be thinking about social media.
And if your life is too busy for a two minute interlude, here are the highlights:
- Use SM (Social Media) to cultivate a community around the activities already being done on campus
- Support student bloggers
- Let students be the producers of the school’s content
- Give students the capacity to think and reflect around their experiences
- Schools benefit by showcasing what they do to a larger audience
- Using SM will cultivate a larger community
- Reflective learning is nothing new, the new challenge is translating the goal into a digital era
