Social Media in the Classroom

Call for Entries: SM in the Classroom

Social Media is changing the way we live, the way we do business and the way we connect. Nowhere is this more evident than on our college and university campuses. Yet there are unique challenges in incorporating these areas of emerging practices and technologies into an already established and tested curriculum.

How do you incorporate social media in the classroom? How do you ensure graduates continue to leave campuses media literate, and able to apply emerging lessons from social media in organizations today and tomorrow?

Tell us How You Incorporate Social Media in the Classroom and WIN!

We taught music seminar today and had a great time. I had really underestimated our undergrads, so I can't wait to beef up things for seminar next semester.

For this semester, we used polleverywhere.com. I had the students tweet, text, or vote on the web to various questions.

Poll Everywhere question

The top picture (although not a very good picture) shows the students holding up their cell phones, iPods, and laptops. Maybe 15 or fewer students happened to not have any web-enabled device on their person.

The students seemed enthusiastic, and I even had a few come up and ask really good questions afterward!

Having this information will definitely help me make changes to the information I present next semester.
