The entire way we receive our information, collect data, learn about public opinion has been influenced by social media. I think many students might use social media as their primary source of news. Things travel fast through these outlets, too!

While I do not use social media in my personal life, I appreciate using the different interfaces in this class. They are colorful, different, and more inviting to look at. It’s possible that for the students who would normally register for in-person classes, media brings that extra level of personalization that is missing.

Are all the features of social media accessible? Which ones are better to use than others? We may have already covered this, but I was thinking about the Twitter assignment I created, The quick search on the subject gave me different answers.

While we cannot assume that every platform will provide accessibility options right now,  I have come to realize that accessibility will continue to evolve, eventually align and become the norm across the board. With every interaction of technological advancements on how information is disseminated there has been a time commitment attached to the learning curve.

When I finally learn how to navigate a new social media platform, students (especially younger students) have moved on to something else. For example, I have been told that Facebook is for "Old People".  Tira

I have learned so much that I don't think my brain can absorb much more. I spent the summer learning new technologies and then as soon as this class started, it was time for my annual conference and it was all about emerging technologies - so I have also learned that I really need to evaluate new tools and make sure my students will benefit. - Julie

Contemplating Social Media and Online Learning

To begin with, the structure of Learning Management Systems, like Canvas or Blackboard, is essentially a social media format. In my course, YouTube videos are a primary aspect of the course. Students embed them in posts to as part of assignments, and I embed them in pages, assignments and discussions. Social media is how it is in online learning.

My biggest concern with social media, is critical thinking and in depth academic work. I suppose I need to do research.

For the longest time, I held social media in contempt as not contributing to academic discourse. What I've realized is that social media has the potential to humanize online learning. In the case of YouTube, it permits my students and myself to have access to performances that otherwise we would never be able to hear/see/experience, learn from, and perhaps be inspired by to push for better musical performances. This has helped me accept social media as a part of my teaching toolbox.
