Today's session, however, has broaden my horizon at the academic possibility of social media. Indeed, one would have to be creative in using all tools available to us...

Guides on creative ways to use social media are available online for our learning. ]]> 2020-09-14 09:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743329845 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743330629 Instagram seems popular and versatile to use in class....can consider ]]> 2020-09-14 09:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743330629 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743332017 Et Ong Eng Teck
After going through the websites, I am more certain in using instagram to engage my special needs students. Those whom I feel are more matured to handle content professionally. Engagement will be on teaching literary skills😊]]> 2020-09-14 09:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743332017 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743332813 Social media is not just for chatting, good constructive work can actually be done. Boundaries need to be set beforehand when getting students onboard for classroom use. ]]> 2020-09-14 09:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743332813 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743338217 Social media can be powerful as students love spending time on social media. However, we need to balance the use in classroom delicately as some students may not have internet accese and may be left behind. We may also have to grapple with social media addiction and etiquette. One way is to tap into school wifi for students and allocate time within lessons for this kind of activity using school ipads to take a picture and caption and post it to their class page as a form of exit ticket. ]]> 2020-09-14 09:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743338217 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743342688 Social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, interestingly can also be a teaching tool. Students nowadays are very IT-savvy, even for primary school students with SEN. I guess this helps them to be better engaged and enjoy learning. As an educator, before we embark on such platforms for T&L, we must ensure that students have some kind of understanding for cyberwellness, so that it will not be misused.]]> 2020-09-14 09:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743342688 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743344348 Social media platforms provide a means to a need for communication, on a personal or work setting. While it is a good avenue for teaching and learning & communication with our students, having a good understanding on the guidelines for educators on using social media will help us use them confidently but safely. ]]> 2020-09-14 09:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743344348 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743346842 Social media can be a good learning and teaching tool. However, it is important that our students be taught to use them safely and responsibly.]]> 2020-09-14 09:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743346842 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743347452 I realized that social media platforms have more uses than I originally thought and that the methods suggested in today’s session were all quite creative. I think the greatest concern would be setting up clear guidelines and limitations when using these sites, as the responsibility remains with the educator for contents to remain appropriate for all audiences. ]]> 2020-09-14 09:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743347452 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743347601 Based on today's session, the usage of social media is becoming a norm in the mainstream classroom. Still, I feel more needs to be done to see how we can adapt the channels for use with SEN children who have different learning difficulties. I will be reading up more to explore in this aspect.]]> 2020-09-14 09:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743347601 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743357233 Social media is known to be a powerful communication tool. Is amazing to learn that schools could use it to communicate crisis management and  level up their presence online. 

There are many new possibilities for uses in classroom other than being use as a teaching resource. I could explore using social media to broadcast lessons especially for pull-out sessions and/or use them as platforms for discussion. ]]> 2020-09-14 09:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743357233 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743369732  After today's lesson, I realised that social media could be used to facilitate the learning of the students and not just engaging with them or building rapport with them. However, not every student may be suitable in this approach to teaching. I will need to consider the maturity and readiness of the students. Definitely, I will still have to set guidelines and reminders on how to use social media for lesson appropriately. It would be interesting to try it out and hear the feedback of the students. ]]> 2020-09-14 10:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743369732 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743370327 social media platforms can be engaging and teaching tools. Students will benefit from  the wide range of learning platforms. As educators, we have to teach them netiquette too! ]]> 2020-09-14 10:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743370327 cthaa https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743909913 I have always just view social media as a way to connect people. And I realized that I have been looking at it in a only from one perspective. Today's session has certainly opened mind to the possibilities of using social media with my students but in of course in a way that is safe and within predetermined boundaries.]]> 2020-09-14 13:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/743909913 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/746496388 Previously, I would never have thought that social media can be used as tool for teaching and learning. I now think that it is indeed a good tool as it is relevant and relatable for students in this era and also provide a fun and interesting way of presenting information. ]]> 2020-09-15 03:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/746496388 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/746667265 I have discovered how the different types of social media can be used to engage our students in teaching and learning. Enlightening session, especially when my course mates shared on how they implemented it and also show examples of how other people are doing it. Changed my views on how I usually use social media. ]]> 2020-09-15 04:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/746667265 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/747704639  It was very interesting to know how social media can be used as a T&L. Using social media is not as easy as " on,  start,  follow the steps and go". It is very crucial to decide on who are  the audience and deliver the just right content. The teacher's guide is a good document to refer to understand on how to use social media as an educator.  ]]> 2020-09-15 13:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/747704639 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/747919820 Yang Ling
Didnt know social media can be a useful teaching n learning tool.

After hearing and seeing what was shared by fellow course mates, I would say I was amazed by the fat and wide reaching potential of Social Media. I am keen to now explore more different platforms. I’m using it with my students, I would need to be mindful on educating them on using it meaningfully and responsibly.]]> 2020-09-17 05:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/2p4xfzu9ofor8scl/wish/754189062
