   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?
