#Collaborations: Using Social Media to Enhance Partnerships, Learning, and Understanding
Sat, April 18, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Invited Speaker Session
Abstract
Social Media dominates many facets of professional and personal life, and the medium has changed how individuals interact with another, receive their news, and understand the world around them. Scholars, administrators, teachers, and organizational leaders have created collaborations about how to best use social media to enhance mentorship, learning, and understanding. In this session researchers and organizational leaders will address a) social media’s potential to advance productive interactions among researchers and practitioners and to enhance how teachers work together and curate information to improve student success, and b) researchers and organizations’ partnerships to counter students’ absorption of misinformation and to develop students’ ability to become more digitally literate.
