@bwatwood @turtledoveictus Love this! Adding to our digital citizenship curriculum. Perhaps a name change to digital leadership is in order? #EDU6333

#EDU6333 When you're happy to finish a semester, but sad that your course is ending. Thanks @bwatwood and all for a wonderful experience!

#EDU6333 Top Takeaway: Learning how to effectively connect, engage, share, and communicate on social media allows for communities to form and grow organically online. At its best, social media allows our lives to intersect with others and both learn and collaborate with them.

@Elissa_C1 I like this approach! #EDU6333

One of my students asked me yesterday if I had snapchat or Tik Tok, and if so they'd send me the "funniest links". My response was "Nope, and nope I wouldn't add you even if I did!". #EDU6333 Does your school or institution have rules around social media use and connections?

[John Krewson @john_krewson]

@bwatwood It does sometimes feel like social media is a taboo subject in many schools due to privacy/inappropriate relationship concerns. #EDU6333

[John Krewson @john_krewson]

@bwatwood 1. Agreed. Our school (elementary K-6) has a strict no friend policy for students and families and staff.
2. We are working on creating a (Schoology) online platform to introduce and model appropriate sociual media behavior with our 5th Graders. #EDU6333

#EDU6333 Thoughts on school's monitoring their students' social media accounts? https://t.co/2IfvIeqohn

@KatieM_EDU633 @WalkerTaiwana This is wonderful! I'm going to save for the Spring when our 6th Grade class performs their annual Shakespeare adaptation. #EDU6333 A marvelous find.

Fascinating article from one of my other EDU classes this semester! #EDU6333 Has reliance on algorithms gone too far? https://t.co/eIxN5mPmID

@KatieM_EDU633 @BianchiMadeline @nadaelnewihy @NicoleRIngram @jenalbat #EDU6333 @KatieM_EDU633 Great question! I wonder if its because they offer courses on gamification and gaming? https://t.co/PVL0f2d2LV

@BianchiMadeline I think my love for history definitely stemmed from Age of Empires II, a real time strategy video game my siblings and I spent countless hours playing! #EDU6333 It's being re-released this month on its 20 year anniversary!

[John Krewson @john_krewson]

@bwatwood Agreed. I found myself thinking about how social media and networking could help connect communities and open up safe spaces for students to congregate. #EDU6333

Fascinating article from the NTY this week. #EDU6333 "...school is the epicenter of their pain, the epicenter of their disconnectedness. Why isn’t anyone listening to them?" https://t.co/JsDbl8keMa

@nadaelnewihy We had our 6th Grade students design a city in Sim City this fall! It was great! #EDU6333

[John Krewson @john_krewson]

Vicki Davis (2014) talks about a vetting process for gamification in education, and testing out apps. Staying current and aware of what's out there, and actually playing along with students is key. #EDU6333

[John Krewson @john_krewson]

#EDU6333 A great way to solve for unknowns, and a wonderful exercise in critical thinking. https://t.co/BuAsxHXlXv

I'm embarrassed at how long Lure of the Labyrinth had me stumped, but I'm feeling victorious, and competent after a few tries! #EDU6333

[John Krewson @john_krewson]

@KatieM_EDU633 Love it! A step in the right direction. #EDU6333
