Social Media with Students?

Schools should reflect the world that we live in TODAY

We can help make schools even more relevant, connected, and

meaningful to kids.

We can increase students' engagement in their education, increase

technological proficiency, contribute to a greater sense of

collaboration in the classroom, and build better communication

skills.

Page 34: SCOLT 2012 Top Tech Tools

What Social Educational Networking Sites to

Use?

Non-Educational Sites like Twitter and

Facebook

• “Go where the students are”

• Teach them how to use these sites responsibly and for their educational needs

Educational Sites like Edmodo or Ning

• More teacher control

• Educational focus

Page 35: SCOLT 2012 Top Tech Tools

“Edmodo is a secure, social learning platform

for teachers, students, schools and districts.

We provide a safe and easy way for your class

to connect and collaborate, share content and

access homework, grades and school notices.

Our goal is to help educators harness the

power of social media to customize the

classroom for each and every learner.”
