TED University Center for Teaching and Learning is inviting our academicians to the seminar entitled "Social Media for Teaching and Learning" by Prof.Dr. Yasemin Gülbahar.
Brief summary
Social media is gaining popularity especially in teaching-learning processes in recent years. To effectively integrate social media into education, teachers should be aware of various learning approaches, pedagogical effects and characteristics of social media together with the possible implementation scenarios. Hence to fulfil this need, this training is organized in a way that delivers theoretical basis and provides basis for discussion for implementation. Thus training starts with the presentation about "Instructional Methods of Teaching with an Online Focus" and continues with a discussion about "Flexible Design Approach", possible risks and benefits. After mentioning the "Pedagogical Differences between Media", participants will be expected to identify and discuss "Pedagogical Characteristics of Social Media for a Teaching Module/Course". In the second part of the training, the participants will be requested to use "Social Media Toolkit" after a presentation about "Models for Social Media Selection". Lastly, possible implementation scenarios for using social media will be shared by participants.
