Increasingly, many educational researchers indicate the potential role
of social Medias in solving instructional problems in an educational setting. A
social networking service is an online platform which we use to build social
networks or social relationships with other people who share similar personal
or career interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life connections. Social
networking services vary in format and the number of features. There are many Social Medias like Facebook,
we chat, MySpace, Twitter, and LinkedIn are examples of social networking sites.

| IV PCA Edu Tech 2020 group chat |
Our tutor created a group in Facebook called IV PCA Edu Tech 2020. I was wondering what we are going to
post and discuss in that group. Unexpectedly, we were asked to upload our
camtasia video in the group created.

After that, we were asked to do peer
assessment and comment on each other’s work. I think I wasn’t thinking out of
the box, till date I was thinking that social media can be used to upload ones photo,
watch newsfeed and wish somebody on his/her birthday.

From that day, I came to
know that we can even use social media as platform to assess each other’s work
which was another great experience provided by our tutor. In line with that, again using social media, we were asked to vote for the best video where sir created poll for us to vote.

How can we use Social media in School?
Now, I realize
that we can even use social media as platform in teaching and learning. It is
not necessary to attend real-time classroom for teaching and learning, even
though it is deemed necessary. However, given the emergency situation like this
pandemic, teaching and learning can be done through virtual classrooms and social
media. We can use social media to asses students work fairly like we did
in ICT-419.
Thank you!

DeleteI enjoyed reading your reflection on social media. You have clearly reflected what you have learned and how you are going to use this in the school as you become a teacher. Similarly, I also used to think that the purpose of Facebook is just to post and read news feed till that, but I learned that we can also use in educational purpose in teaching and learning after this activity. Overall, awesome reflection. Keep writing Tshering.

DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteTshering, I liked the way you have started your work with what actually is social media n the good thing I see here is that you have reflected that social media can be great if we know how it use it properly. It’s going to change the thoughts of the people who is going to read it. The last part on how to use it in schools is going to be a great help too. Keep reflecting
