Trying things related to social media would be a great way to engage with the class.
Makes social media clear for anybody new to the area and reminds end users to think about safety and security for the students.
Some very valid points raised within the module.
Not bad. I have found it difficult to manage social media in class though.
As an English teacher I use social media in debates and often with a negative outcome, but I have to be honest, I find this quote empowering "Social media are embedded into work and daily life so being able to use them is an essential vocational and life skill."
Lovely
Informative.
I am keen to use social media content but have hit a barrier with learners that are not digitally savvy. I am using Teams and the chat function and will slowly add more digital and social media content to my TLA
Good video
Good module
This was quick & easy to understand. Easy to follow.
Not relevant for the majority of the learners we have as they are currently in prison - sorry
A good reminder of what technology and information services are available to use
I liked the fact the module was quite short - which means for other staff it can be completed in a relatively small amount of time. I would like to see HOW this can then be applied to their own teaching - which I assume moves into the next level of the framework. I am intrigued to continue.
