Inspiration Social Media Exploring the myth that social media is bad for education
After taking part in the online #pechat on Twitter this week - about the use of social media within physical education - it got me thinking about the use of it generally in education. There are pockets of good practice springing up all over the place, creating fast and effective communication with students, but in my opinion it is largely being held back by a stigma that social media is all bad news.
Let’s explore the myth that social media is bad news and creates problems for schools.
Jon is an assistant head teacher and PE specialist working in a North East secondary school. Jon's responsibility areas as an assistant head teacher over the past 5 years have been in Care, Guidance and Support (behaviour, attendance, child protection, multi agencies) and currently Raising Achievement (academic intervention and tracking). He is very interested in creative and innovative teaching practices that engage students and ultimately raise achievement. Jon's blog, Edutait, aims to share ideas and good practice to both the staff in his school and beyond.
