Student Voice launched their first Google Hangout. The topic was: Learning in the 21st Century: Social Media in Education. During the hangout participants discussed how they are using social media in their education and how they think it can better be used in their learning experience.
Here are the topics that were discussed.
- Education on proper use - Social media is an effective and necessary tool when those using it are educated properly on its use.
- Use in the classroom - Students are using social media for research, communication, and connection via activities and platforms such as a study group on facebook, talking to peers about topics of interest, connecting with influencers and policy makers on Twitter.
- Choice is key - People want options. They want a platter of services. We can’t push it in their face, but instead need to give them options for achieving learning goals.
- Most commonly used platforms - Participants all agreed that Blogs, Facebook, and Twitter are the most popular platforms. Also mentioned were Wikis and LinkedIn.
