SMC site

Exploring the Social Media Classroom website I came across Participatory Pedagogy. Similar to what we learned last week in the PTACK lesson. A way of getting students to learn from each other and in different ways than just notes, lecture and discussions. It is easier for students to feel connected and engaged when they are all working with the same thing under the same media outlet, for example computers or Google Docs, Google Earth, anything that all students within the classroom can participate in and feel good about discussing. A great for teachers to also get lesson ideas and see how pedagogy can be implement within a classroom and what it really means to a students education within technology. As they will be growing up with technology in their veins, it cannot be avoided, so why not embrace it.
