Using Social Networking Tools in the Classroom

On June 19. 2013, KCELT instructional designer Jeremy Slagoski presented two sessions on using social networking tools in the classroom.  He used Google sites as his platform to present the content, which can be seen by clicking on this link: https://sites.google.com/site/kceltsocialnettools/home

The first session had 9 participants, and the groups mainly discussed Twitter and social networks in general.  Jeremy spent the remaining half hour of the course skimming through the content about blogs and Google.

The second session had 25 participants, and the groups discussed blogs and YouTube for the greatest portion of the time.  Jeremy spent a little time explaining the content covering Google.
