Description
This CART presentation highlights the work of several professors who use social media for student connections. The two primary presenters, Martina Arndt (Physics) and Nancy Van Leuven (Communication Studies) represent how both the hard and softer sciences can use social media to communicate and guide classroom activities. In her role as one of BSC’s New Teacher Academy faculty, Martina uses Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and MySpace as examples of how new teachers can manage online personas. She also uses Facebook to connect with current and alumni student groups. Nancy uses Twitter to build collaborative communities, RSS feeds and Google documents to successfully pull in and share information, and Wordpress for student research websites.
The social media tidal wave is here, so how do we help our students swim with the current?
