011 - ASA Social Media Pre-Conference Workshop 08. Social Media Practices in the Classroom

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

This workshop focuses on the pedagogy of social media with a focus on the issue of digital literacy. Despite claims to the contrary, evidence shows that our students are not digital natives. How can we teach them the best practices for effectively communicating through social media? How can social media impact their studies, their social activism, and their careers? We will focus on Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.
