What's all this social media nonsense?

Using cross-sector examples of social media in action, DK will illustrate how organisations are utilising social media to humanise their brand. He will also explore how others are leveraging the power of social principles to achieve wider learning opportunities including the ability to connect with experts across the world.

What is the value of this to educators?

DK will demonstrate that, while Twitter and Facebook are two examples of social media, there are many more platforms to utilise, to adapt and adopt. He will also show what's really changed for young people, outline the opportunities for educators and clarify how this challenges the traditional model of education.

This CORE breakfast session will:

- give an overview of the shifting media landscape

- enlighten you as to what social media is

- explore the use of social media through a range of cross-sector examples

- give guidance about how NOT to use social media

- share why "playing is learning by stealth"

- make you smile/think.

This session is for educators who want to understand social media and its uses in the context of their work. It is not a session about the 'how to use' aspects of these applications, but rather for those who want a brain melting overview of how these social media platforms can be used to extend learning.

Breakfast will be served at 7.30am, with DK beginning the discussion at 7.45am (please note the earlier start time). He will wrap things up around 9am but you are invited to stay and chat with DK, other CORE staff and one another after the seminar.
