Semingson, Peggy; Consalvo, Annamary; Pole, Kathryn; Owens, Dana
Texas Association for Literacy Education Yearbook, v6 p59-65 2019
This summary paper shares key ideas from a 2019 TALE Conference panel session that focused on how the authors infused social media into literacy and technology teacher education courses at two public universities. Four teacher-educators share ways of leveraging various platforms such as Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube to use as educational resources in higher education to, for example, save, search, and curate teacher resources, engage with educators around the world via educational chats, and provide instances of just-in-time learning for today's busy students. Judiciously assigned, well-structured opportunities to use social media as a learning tool can augment teacher education which has traditionally been confined to university classrooms and field placement sites. Here, we offer ways in which preservice and in-service teachers can engage intentionally and with specific outcomes with a wide range of like-minded professionals.
