[Air-L] Understanding Social Media

[Glassman, Michael]

Well I don't think I have links that would be of great interest to this list because I teach Child Development and Educational Philosophy, but if it works for that it would definitely work for social media.  One of the great links was recently provided on this list by Sarah Oates I think (sorry if I got the name wrong) to a paper about Google Trends that was really at the cutting edge.  The technology writer at Salon.com for instance like Andrew Leonard and Natasha Lennard especially for social media are phenomenal and always provide links.  There are just so many out there.

I wonder if people have thought about throwing out written materials and treating social media not only as the topic but as the means of the course?  Provide students with interesting links about social media.  Forward them interesting discussion from this and other interesting lists.  Have them follow interesting scholars through Twitter or an SNS and have them bring links back to the class (and yes I have taught a course like this, but not on Social Media).  Most of the best stuff I have read recently I have found through links not through books.

A new type of education for a new age.

Hi Kayla,

I teach a course in social media and, like Marj, find that it is really
difficult to cover all of the related topics. I organize the course around
four 'themes': privacy, copyright, digital inclusion and political
participation.

Last semester, I used Mandiberg's Social Media Reader as a source of
foundational material--good material for a grad student course. But I also
have found it neccessary to supplement quite a bit with additional
readings. I am happy to share my syllabus off-list if it would be helpful.

Kindest regards,

Kelly Quinn
