What are some specific opportunities you could see our students using social media for good? by Jennifer Taylor https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess en-us 2021-03-10 06:08:17 UTC 2021-03-27 16:01:17 UTC hello@padlet.com In Honors English II, we have them identify, research and present possible solutions to problems facing the globe and their local community. I have seen them utilize social media to galvanize support and awareness to a degree that would not have been possible otherwise. Every issue deserves a platform, and the students figured out that social media was far and away the best way to get one! llabrie1 https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1354637118 2021-03-25 19:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1354637118 Communication, during distance learning we've used social media to run contests, spirit weeks, announcements, fundraisers, etc.. to keep students engaged in their school community. It's also a great way for them to learn how to market their activities and use it to bring awareness to the event they are hosting. https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1356096339 2021-03-26 05:34:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1356096339 Staying connected during distance learning and also when in person. It's a great way to connect about positive school events, fundraisers, etc. sghilarducci https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1357986045 2021-03-26 16:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1357986045 Sharing their talents with others, connecting with like minded peers, community awarness opportunities mmenchaca1 https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1358503982 2021-03-26 18:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1358503982 Research. https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1360011975 These tools might be very effective for students to communicate and collaborate with especially during class time where they can be monitored and guided. In many ways it appears that the problem is not always the app or the website, but the constant contact and use of it via Smartphones. ]]> 2021-03-27 15:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jtaylor302/tmc8zloj7pcomess/wish/1360011975
