Do you use blogs in your classroom? Social networking sites? I am putting together a panel discussing the various ways that we can use blogs and new media in the classroom.
More after the jump.
Various professors and teachers are developing various ways to engage students through new media. I have an assignment that makes students find a blog entry they think is reliable and one they think is unreliable. A friend uses facebook to assign low-stakes writing assignments and have students interact with each other. What else are people doing?
I think we all here about some ideas at various conferences, but I'd love to here them pulled together.
Please note, this is not about pushing our politics in the classroom--this is about how us old-fogies who are into new media are trying to reach the net generation.
If you are interested, e-mail me, or post your ideas below--I think we could have a very strong panel.
