Social Media in Holocaust Education

Alex Maws and Kori Street

The US Department of Education defined social media as “Any form of online publication or presence that allows interactive communication (monologue or multi-logue), including, but not limited to, social networks, blogs, internet websites,

Internet forums, and wikis.” Similarly, an EU Commissioned European study about using social media in higher education defined social media as Web 2.0’ ‘Read-Write Web’, allowing everyone to publish resources on the web using simple and open, personal and collaborative publishing tools, aka social software. It is characterized as dynamic, open and freely available. Examples of social media include blogs, wikis,

social bookmarking systems, podcasts etc.

Did you find it easy to settle in?
