Teens are not connecting in the ways we fear. But, we need to pay attention to:
•Properties: persistence, replicability, searchability, scalability, (de)locatability.
•Dynamics: invisible audiences, collapsed contexts, blurring of public & private spaces

• Inspired by McLuhan’s “We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.”
• Youtube & other social media mitigate “connection without constraint”. In many cases this leaves to “tremendously deep communities”.

recommendations
considering information flow
•blogging & RSS
•use of SMS (txt’ing)
•microblogging (Twitter)
•rich media like Youtube or podcasts
•student or interdepartmental partnerships
augment relationships
•e-mentoring
•use of existing social networks (Facebook), but beware the “creepy treehouse”.
•in-house social networking service
•Twitter as personality
•Web-conferencing (Skype)
•videostream of live classes/sessions.
professional collaboration
•use of collaborative tools (e.g., Google Docs)
•social network for academic advisors for pro. learning (in and beyond the province)
•increase personal and professional learning opportunities
important
social media is about enhancing relationships - it is not about the tools - it is about
personal investment in our students and in
ourselves
*this* is not going away
social media provides engagement/motivation
development of meaningful learning communities
incredible possibilities for student engagement
geographies become nearly irrelevant in a open, connected reality.
