Experiential Learning with Games and Social Media by Peter DePietro
More and more, instructors are integrating social media into curriculum to engage students and prompt collaborative learning. The popularity of social media in class sessions is gaining, and the use of conventional technology such as computers, laptops, etc. in certain disciplines of study is waning. Social media Websites have become assets in the classroom for some educators, me included. The main reason for the popularity of social media in the classroom, I believe, is the collaborative nature of social media platforms. Social media is a useful way of connecting students, one that is easily available and affordable. In most cases social media is free, making it cost-effective. All that is required is a computer or computing device, an Internet connection, and a browser. In "Experiential Education with Social Media," I present a case study I conducted using Facebook in an undergraduate electronic media course at the University of Cincinnati. Did Facebook serve my pedagogical objectives of involving students with content first and technology second? It did.
