Reading Thoughts: Social Media Learning Activities




What stood out to me the most in this reading was the emphasis on wikis and blogs for a course. The use of blogs is something we're all familiar with now. But wikis is an interesting one. I've seen this discussed in other courses as a part of OER materials created by students for an class. An ever-growing repository of information, materials, projects, and resources that stays over the years. For the right subject material, giving student work a meaning beyond the disposable semester term is something that has a lot of appeal. Plus, they can exist in a student's portfolio.

I was able to follow some notable people and organizations related to the subject material as well, such as Rheingold. Some valuable instances of material included the Writing and Rhetoric Symposium with a presentation about "Hashtag Activism...
