3 ways to utilize social networking in classroom My students are members of The Student American Dental Hygiene Association which funnels directly into The American Dental Hygiene Association once they've graduated and become licensed. Having a Facebook page set up for the class would allow them to post information from the national page to share. It would allow them to share photos and stories from different group activities ...yesterday they participated in the Clean UP campaign as a fundraiser for their group. I'd like to see those pics! Hashtags on twitter would allow the students to get instant tweets on any subject they've hashtagged. Twitter would allow them to follow each other and keep up with school/classroom activities...as we come to the end of this final semester, they are bombarded with activities, deadlines and due dates. As an instructor, I could send those tweets as 'friendly' reminders. Social networking could also connect class groups between schools, much like cities do when becoming 'sister cities'. It could become part of the learning experience to Skype (or some other link) with a school somewhere else in the nation. Sharing ideas and enhancing each class's learning experience.
