Building Learning Communities 2011

Shannon McClintock Miller uses social media with her students, teachers and throughout the school community everyday. Through social media, she has connected her students to authentic learning experiences that foster collaboration, communication and the skills that they will need as digital citizens in our emerging global society. In this session, she will show the positive roles social media can play in fostering interactions, leadership, personal responsibility, collaboration and effective communication using a variety of digital environments and media. By using social media, students are given a purpose and powerful audience that brings incredible value to their learning. Shannon will show how social media has changed the way she teaches and will inspire you to get your students connected through amazing stories, conversation and the voice of her students.
