@IrishCullyNZ My first tweet was on gdite too.

@AmiteshChand3 Wondering if the first sentence is true. Has the credibility of information on social media suffered over recent years?

#gdite Is anyone using Edmodo? Our course mentions a course group, but I can't see how to find it. Would appreciate some help.

@ashleig51101314 I really like that Twitter in the classroom link. Not sure it applies to adult learners, but I can see how it would be really exciting for younger learners. #gdite

@RachelHallam15 That doesn't surprise me as much as exercising. I assume podcasts?

[Jean Young @itlearnnz]

@ashleig51101314 I don't think I am at the moment. Just starting to think of possibilities

Kia ora #gdite whanau. I have an admin question. Do your organizations have guidelines about record keeping if you use social media. What happens with student complaint and requirement to have records of interactions?

[Jean Young @itlearnnz]

@musicalmiss1 I think one of my problems comes from the fact that Moodle is the base for our courses and the logical place to put links is there. I never hand out bits of paper in class. I can think of great things I could do with younger learners / different subjects.

@brendonnaki @Donnis00937462 My nephew who is in 2nd year at university has stopped taking his laptop to class and doesn't allow himself to use his phone because the distraction is too hard to manage. Many of his friends do the same.

@musicalmiss1 I tried out a QR code too - linked to the answers for a group task I set and linking to a video they could watch for extra input. Good learning for me but I could have put the answers on the board or in ppt. Did I add anything?

[Jean Young @itlearnnz]

@Donnis00937462 @ENteaching101 @gwynttall And it's a self motivating task - the reward is making the video - rather than an external reward which can ultimately backfire and reduce reading

[Jean Young @itlearnnz]

@Donnis00937462 @gwynttall @ENteaching101 Yes.

[Jean Young @itlearnnz]

@gwynttall @Donnis00937462 @ENteaching101 Yes - but will the trailers encourage others to read the books? Or will trailer watching be enough?🙂

[Jean Young @itlearnnz]

@gwynttall @Donnis00937462 @ENteaching101 Looks like a cool idea. I can see they will like making the videos but wondering if it will increase reading. Or does it matter? They learn from video

[Jean Young @itlearnnz]

@TanyaCalitz1 Used my first QR code in class last week. How do I use a code that's in a message on my phone? Since I can't point the phone at it.

[Jean Young @itlearnnz]

@twobhapi I guess I'm lucky because Wintec doesn't have restrictions. I'm amazed how many teachers have strong anti phone feelings though

[Jean Young @itlearnnz]

@Donnis00937462 I have never used split screen in class but I may give it a go

@HowToWithRj #gdite I have been involved with some bad privacy breaches with LinkedIn. Not for me
