‘Social Media Kids and technology integration in the classroom’
This assignment allows students to explore an issue relating to Social Media Kids and technology in the classroom. You are expected to develop an information/teaching site which includes your research and writing/video/audio on one aspect of Social Media Kids, resources for a possible lesson in your curricular area, and a works cited list of at least five resources (only one of which may be from wikipedia).
You will have sections on:
● how are current students different from previous ones (including perhaps yourself)?
● why is it important for teachers to understand this?
● how technology can be used to create an effective learning experience
● an overview of a sample lesson or unit on your topic that would include relevant ICT. You may borrow ideas from other sites, but the lesson must be your own following the AAAA format.
● references/sources (but anything that can be linked in the content itself should be)
● a personal opinion comment or perspective on this issue.
You must utilize technology/ies in order to communicate these ideas. The choice of technology is the decision of the student. It can range from posting the work on a blog site, podcast, wiki site, web page, or other ways of using technology to address ideas.
Your writing is to generally be in the third person (except the personal comment), and should be written for a generic education audience who might encounter your work without any knowledge of this course.
The challenge of the assignment is to be able to move from the mundane and simplistic towards a critical analysis of modes of thinking enhanced by technology and the utilization of contemporary resources.
