“Benefits of social networking tools in a meaningful way while carefully considering how they fit within specific content areas and teaching methodologies included increased feedback for students with a more student-centered approach to teaching”.
Technology combined with Pedagogy and content knowledge support students and their learning.
(Archambault, 2010).
1. Social and academic platforms collide, students are more engaged
2. Administration supports technology integration, students win!
We didn’t have computers in the 1500’s, but I’m sure they would
have been useful! –
St. Benedict
