Final Project
For my final project I am going to create a presentation that demonstrates how social networking sites can be used as educational tools. I am further researching Facebook, blogs and YouTube to show the educational value of them. Since these sites are extremely popular with students and teachers, I think they can be used in learning situations and be a motivational tool as well.
To create this project, I’m going to research the correlation between these sites and learning. I would like to search the web to see if and how these sites are being used in classrooms as well as talk to other educators. I intend for this project to be targeted toward fellow educators, both classroom and online teachers. I think that both types of teachers can benefit from know how these sites can be used as part of a curriculum.
I have decided to do my project over these tools because I feel that they have the most relevance to today’s youth. They are easily recognizable and serve as a great way to connect students and teachers from all parts of the world. It’s also a great way to expand a lesson and make real life connections.
