How-to Use Social Media Platforms to Create Meaningful Learning Assignments | Didactics and Technology in Education | Scoop.it
This post describes and provides examples of three social media platforms used as a pedagogical tool to create meaningful learning assignments in face-to-face and online courses.

 

Social media platforms such as blogs, Wikis and Twitter hold great potential as vehicles for student learning. These tools can support meaningful, rich learning outcomes when assignments are developed to align with course objectives.

In this post I outline how three social media platforms, when used in pedagogically sound ways support student learning and skill development in for-credit course work.
