February 06, 2018
Time: 3:30 PM - 4:45 PM
Location: Mell 3550

Our students are digital natives. Instead of prohibiting phones or social media use in the classroom, let’s meet students where they are by using social media as a learning tool. Many of us use social media tools outside of work and we know that our students spend a lot of time on social media. Using social media, an already familiar environment for students, gives them a comfortable starting point for their learning.


Participants in this workshop will:

· Develop teaching strategies for using different social media platforms

· Identify which social media platform works for different purposes

· Explore at least one social media tool you were previously unfamiliar with

· Become mindful of student needs, privacy concerns, etc.
