What is “social media” ? • The part of the Internet where the content is generated by users of the service. • It's not about tools - it's about conversations.
Is using social media in education a terrible idea? www.flickr.com/photos/ajc1/6924209488 • Time • Authority ("quality") • Just not needed - traditional tools have proved their worth?
What do students want? • Guidance and leadership through the maze • Compete with professional media (Facebook, games, television) • Value for money
What do we give them? • By and large, we give them what we experienced in education. • Where technology makes it easy for us to increase the pressure on them, we do so (email, online assessment).
What do we want? • Engaged, self-motivated, lifelong learners • And ... ?
So how do we get there? • Invest time & effort in not just doing it but in understanding how new media work. • Manage expectations - in particular that education is active not passive. • Give them clear targets and something to aim for.
Digital Natives versus Visitors and Residents ?
Pedagogies of Online Education
PLE versus PLN • Personal Learning Environment (PLE) - a collection of tools • Personal Learning Network (PLN) - a collection of people
It’s not about tools, it’s about creating the right network Bad networks! Good networks!
Peer networks - professional development? • Facebook but not Facebook • Minimalist guidance • Reflection • Feedback • Discussion (object centred)

Social Media and Microbiology Education

  • 1. Social Media and Microbiology Education Alan Cann School of Biological Sciences University of Leicester Find me here: bit.ly/AJCann This talk: www.slideshare.net/AJCann
  • 3. What is “social media” ? • The part of the Internet where the content is generated by users of the service. • It's not about tools - it's about conversations.
  • 4. Is using social media in education a terrible idea? www.flickr.com/photos/ajc1/6924209488 • Time • Authority ("quality") • Just not needed - traditional tools have proved their worth?
  • 5. What do students want? • Guidance and leadership through the maze • Compete with professional media (Facebook, games, television) • Value for money
  • 6. What do we give them? • By and large, we give them what we experienced in education. • Where technology makes it easy for us to increase the pressure on them, we do so (email, online assessment).
  • 7. What do we want? • Engaged, self-motivated, lifelong learners • And ... ?
  • 8. So how do we get there? • Invest time & effort in not just doing it but in understanding how new media work. • Manage expectations - in particular that education is active not passive. • Give them clear targets and something to aim for.
  • 10. Pedagogies of Online Education
  • 11. PLE versus PLN • Personal Learning Environment (PLE) - a collection of tools • Personal Learning Network (PLN) - a collection of people
  • 12. It’s not about tools, it’s about creating the right network Bad networks! Good networks!
  • 13. Peer networks - professional development? • Facebook but not Facebook • Minimalist guidance • Reflection • Feedback • Discussion (object centred)
  • 14. 1. Content 3. Network 2. Context
