Shared media are web-based environments which allow for publishing, sharing, rating and recommending multimedia to learners. The media can be shared by educators, experts or learners themselves.
With its widespread use and versatility, social media has become a valuable tool in modern education strategies.
Platforms like Twitter have seen the rise of education-focused hashtags (e.g., #edchat, #edtech) that educators and students use to share resources, discuss educational topics, and network with peers globally.
Social media facilitates real-time communication and collaboration among learners and educators, allowing for immediate feedback and peer support.
Platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn provide learners with access to the latest news, research, and professional insights, keeping them informed about current trends and developments in their field.
Select social media platforms that best suit your educational goals and the preferences of your learners. Consider privacy settings, functionality, and the type of content you plan to share.
Encourage active participation from all members of the learning community, ensuring that diverse voices and perspectives are heard and valued.
Regularly monitor and moderate social media interactions to maintain a positive learning environment and address any issues promptly.
