Best of Social Media and the University Classroom
Best of Social Media and Tech Education in the University Classroom
I’ve compiled what I think are the most relevant, interesting, and forward thinking posts from Compassion in Politics about social media and the university classroom all in one handy blog post. I’ve included issues of a comprehensive list of issues related to educational technology in the university context including: e-learning, career, entrepreneurship, and curriculum development. The post contains 27 resources links as well as the visualization and statistics provided by the three info-graphics I’ve also included.
Probably the two most relevant to the university professor who wants to ramp up with social media tools are “Social Media and the University Professor” which details some of the best content about web 2.0 tools in the college classroom as well as “E-learning Trends for 2009″ which points out the leading technology in the e-learning space as it reaches the University 2.0 generation. Of course this list offers a plethora of resources and ideas to explore, interrogate, and engage other educators about.

This is a fantastic example of social media for the university classroom:

It leverages the blog content of the author of the textbook’s blog.
Here is Justiceharvard.org which is Michael Sandel’s outpost on philosophy & justice:

In addition, it should theoretically be on iTunes if that is a preferred method of download or access. Apparently, Sandels lectures have even made it to China despite internet crackdowns there.
Great article and I appreciate the links. I agree that Michael Sandel’s Harvard lectures are amazing and show how useful social media is when utilized by universities and their professors. MIT’s OpenCourseWare is another fine example. My professors in Waterloo and Toronto are certainly thinking of using this stuff more and more.
