So much is written in the press about the negative use of technology (in particular social media) and young people. Yet technology and social media has become such an integrated and important part of our lives. We see ‘tweets’ on the television, read facts on Facebook and gather information on Google+.
In the past 24 months social media has toppled governments, helped us rescue flood victims and delivered us both localised and international news in almost real-time.
Social media is both powerful and purposeful yet its full potential is still to be realised in education. How can it be used to transform our classrooms in the same ways that it has transformed many other aspects of our lives?
As you might know I've been doing a lot of work on this recently (partly linked to the SMILE project) and now in partnership with my friends at Bloxx we have turned lots of these blog ramblings into one easy reference guide / eBook.
It is free and you can request a download from here.
You're right! It will be another good accomplishment if we can transform ebooks into education. People are fond of ebooks and these are capable of reaching a large audience. - http://www.freerebrandableebooks.co.uk
