Schoology is an LMS that has the visual appeal of a social media application like Facebook, which provides students with a platform they are comfortable in. For Chromebook using students, this just makes it easier on them as it can be accessed quickly and easily. Why consider Schoology? For younger students, this is important.

Part of our time together was spent talking about non-traditional primary and secondary sources.

We discussed the state and possible next years of K-12 education, the possibilities of social media, and the impact on higher education, all in just under one hour. Yes, there’s an explosion of devices (iPads, Chromebooks, smartboards), but little evidence to suggest much rethinking of teaching. Part II: Social media.

Primary and secondary schools are a battleground between iPads and Chromebooks, it seems. Social media is something higher ed is ambivalent about. In the meanwhile, look for younger, female earth science faculty as people most likely to use social media for academic purposes, generally.

Platforms provide the substructure for the “gig economy” and the “sharing economy”; they’re the economic engine of social media; they’re the architecture of the “attention economy” and the inspiration for claims about the “end of ownership.” But there are trade-offs.

While I appreciate the time to connect with others through social media, I realized that I spend more time there than I probably need to. Shout out to StackUp who generously donated a class set of Chromebooks to Anastasis students! It is pretty revealing when you see how much time you sink into things like email, Facebook, etc.
