Learn how to harness common social media platforms—such as Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Flickr—to accelerate student learning. Kevin Kelly explores using social media to aid content mastery, increase academic focus, and foster effective classroom debate. He covers engaging students with backchannels and polls, soliciting feedback for presentations, and assessing learning with Twitter, Facebook, and other tools. In a bonus chapter, he'll show how social media can extend students' experiences outside the classroom, providing opportunities for collaborative reading, group projects, fieldwork, and shared student portfolios.
