Let's communicate with our learners during this lesson. You will have gained some ideas about what kind of questions you would like to ask them about communicating through social media.
- Now discuss with your learners how they would best like you to communicate these questions to them.
- Create a short survey/questionnaire and post this to your learners using the medium for which they have stated a preference.
- Include a question asking your learners for ideas on how they think social media could be used in their various classes.
-
Study the responses and draw conclusions about:
- the popularity social media might enjoy as a learning resource;
- the challenges you would have to overcome to integrate social media in learning activities;
- the feasibility of integrating social media – based on your ideas and those of your learners, do you think communicating through social media has educational value for you and your learners?
-
Upload your questions and your findings to your tutor in a format of your choice. Your file must start with your name and it should not exceed 8Mb.
