I'm fascinated in this as an avid user of a variety of social media, although my use has been entirely outside the classroom (graduated right before it became a "thing"). It might be interesting to consider some of the work being done over at Hybrid Pedagogy on this too.

Sophia – I hadn’t thought of that, but it’s a great suggestion. I’ll check w/ the coordinators who are handling room assignments and see what I can do!

Rebecca – I hope you’ll bring along the projects you’ve done to share with us. I’ve heard many of my colleagues talk about this kind of analytical work on source materials, but they tend to be pretty basic. Something more substantive would be good to share and discuss, particularly in this interdisciplinary-disciplinary environment!

This could be a good session for the computer lab? I’d sure welcome the opportunity to have peer support in trying out some of these tools that I’ve been too intimidated to play around with myself…but, of course, also think critically about what forms of communication they afford or do not. Great session; thanks for sharing!

This is a great idea for a session. I have incorporated critical evaluation of various social media resources and leveraging them as research tools to deliver timely and relevant content through the construction of purposeful and targeted networks into coursework before. I look forward to hearing about and discussing ways that such tools can be used to encourage students to organize, understand, and create.
