Workshop
ID: 48999
Abstract: The ubiquity of mobile devices and the boom of the social media experience has impacted all aspects of human life. Most learners own at least one smart device and a social media account. Research has shown that these can be leveraged to improve student retention, achievement and reaching differentiated learning needs (Kukulska-Hulme et al., 2005). Squire and Dikkers (2012) also found that the affordances of mobile media amongst youth resulted in the amplification of interest, self, social networks and learning. This session will introduce and demonstrate the use of mobile/ smart devices and social media as a means of learning and evaluation using blogger and Instagram to create “SelfieBooks”
