Social
Media and Digital Cultures:
Out of the Classroom and Into Students’ Lives
Saturday, March 16 and 23, 2013
9 am – 3 pm
Benjamin Building, University of Maryland, College Parkwith instructor Daniel Greene, Department of American Studies
The Seminars for Teachers program is pleased to offer this special workshop –Social Media and Digital Cultures- which aims to give teachers the tools to:
·
learn how to craft
exciting, relevant, and purposeful technology-linked courses using
existing expertise plus some common-sense principles for creating and
managing technological communities;
·
explore free or cheap tools to expand the domains of learning;
·
learn to integrate social media into learning outcomes, transferrable skills, and leading-edge principles of learning.
The instructor will review the design process for
different assignments and courses that included social media so that
participants can see these principles at work. Common fears and
obstacles will be discussed in relation to historical
debates on technology's utopic or dystopic potential (e.g., with the
telegraph, the motion picture, teen 'sexting') and more mundane
institutional barriers (e.g., administrators, objectives, and
finances).
The workshop is planned to cover two days, so all teachers should plan to attend both days. If you would like a
graduate workshop credit, you must complete both days to receive the credit. More information about the
seminar and fee structure is on our website: www.sft.umd.edu.
Please register early and reserve your spot; we
have limited seating, so we will accept registrants on a first
come/first serve basis. Registration is open until
February 20, 2013. Payments will be due by February 28 to hold your seat.
Any K-12 teacher is welcome to join us!! Contact
