Making sense of how to use social media for learning - Webinar

Learning the 21st century way: Making sense of how to use social media for learning

Over the past decade social media has changed how individuals connect online and share information and how organizations interact with stakeholders and customers. Did you know that social media is now being incorporated into learning programs from Kindergarten right on up through adult education? Does it really add any value to the learning process?

In this one-hour webinar, I’ll share exactly how I incorporated social media (and in particular, Twitter) into one of my classes. I’ll share what worked, what didn’t and what you can do in your own teaching or training practice to effectively integrate social media ‐ and why you might want to.

By the end of the webinar you will:

• Have a basic understanding of how social media can add value to your learning programs

• Gain insight into how to incorporate social media into a lesson plan

• Get ideas on how to assess activities using social media

• Get ideas on how to incorporate social media into your own learning programs

There will be time for questions at the end of the webinar.
