7 Ways Teachers Use Social Media in the Classroom. Millennials live and breathe on social media, so teachers are learning how to incorporate the medium into the classroom successfully. In doing so, teachers not only encourage students to engage actively in the material, but they also provide online communities for students that might not exist for them in real life. But how are teachers infusing social media into their everyday lessons? We've highlighted several different examples and offered our own ideas on how to best engage students. 1. Encourage students to share work socially. Anna Divinsky created an iTunes U class at Penn State University called Art 10: Introduction to Visual Studies, which she then adapted into a massive open online course (MOOC) on Coursera. For each class assignment, students were responsible for evaluating each other's work.

Students shared their work on a variety of platforms. @psutlt #art10psu Art in the style of Rousseau (done in pencil) pic.twitter.com/oOA9UrlX6E— Wendy S Dixson (@WendyDixson) July 16, 2013. Adam Bellow Rocks the House at ISTE13. Adam Bellow’s standing ovation came as no surprise to the thousands of teachers who connect with him on Twitter. His keynote took the audience on a journey of laughter and tears. Though he no longer works with students every day, instead working on his latest adventure, Educlipper, it’s evident that Bellow cares deeply about making a difference in the lives of students and teachers. His references to those who have supported him in his journey remind us all to give credit to those who have inspired us.

Steve Dembo, co-author of his latest book, and Kathy Schrock, an innovator way ahead of her time, were among those mentioned. A hush fell over the house as Bellow shared about Sean, his student who died of brain cancer and SeanLivesOn, the project to raise money for cancer research. The following quotes highlight Adam Bellow’s key points: Bellow made a final call to action in his closing: Future generations need to know we believe in them.

Credits - Project Me Project Based Learning Unit. Social Media for Administrators. As I have done a lot of work with school administrators on why they should be using social media and some practical ways to use it within their schools, I wanted to compile some articles together that will help schools/organizations move forward. They will be listed under two categories; the why and the how. The articles are listed below: The Why The Need for Courageous Leadership – If new ideas are going to happen and we are going to encourage risks, we need to take risks as well.

Here is an example of a principal trying something new and tapping into the best resource in his school; his students. What Digital Accelerates – Many of the fundamentals that were important 50 years ago are still important today. Humanizing Our Organizations Through Social Media – In this post, I share what many organizations are doing around the world and how it is important that in education, we get through our culture of fear and do what we can to connect with those that we serve.

The How. Commonplace book. A commonplace book from the mid-17th century Commonplace books (or commonplaces) were a way to compile knowledge, usually by writing information into books. Such books were essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: medical recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables of weights and measures, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas.

Commonplaces were used by readers, writers, students, and scholars as an aid for remembering useful concepts or facts they had learned. Each commonplace book was unique to its creator's particular interests. "Commonplace" is a translation of the Latin term locus communis (from Greek tópos koinós, see literary topos) which means "a theme or argument of general application", such as a statement of proverbial wisdom. History[edit] Zibaldone[edit] During the course of the 15th century, the Italian peninsula was the site of a development of two new forms of book production: the deluxe registry book and the zibaldone (or hodgepodge book).

Practical Theory | A View From the Schoolhouse. [This year marked the first graduating class of our second campus – SLA@Beeber. I was honored and thrilled to be asked to be the keynote speaker. It’s been such an incredible experience to watch this group of students and families and educators build this school into something wonderful, and I was so excited to share the day with them. — Chris] To the Science Leadership Academy @ Beeber inaugural class – the Class of 2017 – congratulations! I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to me to be standing in front of you today. What you all have done – what you all have accomplished these past four years – will stand as a tribute to your willingness to build, to take risks, to go on a journey together – for years and years to come. Every student who follows you through the halls of your school will feel the impact of all you have done and all you have built.

On behalf of all of them – I thank you. And you did not do this alone. And still – there were more. And that’s what you did. Resources - Fostering a Digital-Age Staff: Managing Large Scale Technology Integration. The Nerdy Teacher. Learning Ecosystems. Connected Learning That Works.
