Call for Papers
May 2015 Special Issue of
Journal of Faculty Development
Guest Edited by:
Russell Carpenter, Eastern Kentucky University
Theme: Social Media in Pedagogy and Practice: Networked Teaching and
Learning
While many forms of social media are no longer considered
$B!H(Bnew,$B!I(B their instructional uses continue to both inspire and
challenge faculty and students. A variety of social media permeate the
classroom whether used for pedagogical or personal purposes. Many
instructors also use social media in their personal lives, but its role
and potential in the classroom are still evolving. While the dynamic
nature of social media provides a number of pedagogical opportunities
to engage students in productive ways, integrating social media into
class sessions and projects also presents new challenges not faced with
other instructional technologies. This special issue invites scholars
to highlight the most successful and promising strategies for
integrating social media into the classroom while also considering the
challenges these technologies present for teaching and learning.
Authors might consider the best practices for integrating social media
into the classroom for instructional purposes, theories and principles
that support the decision to incorporate social media into classroom
settings, challenges faced and approaches for overcoming these
challenges, and projects that incorporate social media along with
learning outcomes. Submissions might also explore, theorize, and assess
innovative concepts, approaches, and strategies for classroom
instruction using social media.
Framing questions can include but are not limited to:
$B!|(B What classroom activities are best suited for implementing
social media? What specific projects might incorporate social media and
how were these projects assessed?
$B!|(B What are the best practices for using social media for
instruction?
$B!|(B How might various forms of social media engage student
learning outcomes? What factors should instructors consider when
deciding whether to employ social media?
$B!|(B What are the theoretical frameworks for teaching with
social media and how might they inform instruction? What training or
professional development might benefit instructors exploring social
media for classroom instruction?
$B!|(B What issues and challenges arise when incorporating social
media into the classroom, including political, social, and
institutional contexts and expectations? What boundaries, parameters,
or guidelines are necessary for classroom use of social media and how
might they present challenges, if at all?
$B!|(B What are the goals for incorporating social media into the
classroom and how were these goals achieved, adapted, or revised? How
might students contribute to these goals as they use social media in
their own learning?
