Advantages of using social media

  • Already in use in daily life for some people –

means a life long learning skill

  • May avoid library anxiety
  • Expands critical thinking for evaluation since

not pre‐vetted as library materials are

  • Expands citation skills since not so obvious

how to cite

  • Provides search‐storage‐sharing

Challenges of using social media in a class

  • Providing digital access for students without internet or

computers

  • Creating an account for each software if one doesn’t

already have it

  • Or combining established accounts with classroom

activities

  • Learning how to search and save on each site

– Instructor needs to know as much as students – Investment in time and energy

  • Creating student‐private‐community sites
  • Helping students protect their privacy – one of the IL

Proficiencies

How do people use social media sites?

  • Students learn social media skills for business and WordPress blogs

to share their research

  • Composition students use Reddit to research their argument papers
  • Food writing students share recipes, restaurant reviews, and

farmer’s market finds on a class Facebook page.

  • Critical Reviewing students online will use Pinterest to share art

exhibit reviews

  • Poetry students use Twitter to create and send short poems
  • Students in an African American literature class use Tumblr to share

images related to the texts and concepts they are studying

  • One grad student archives recipes on Pinterest so she can check her

phone to make dinner

  • Argumentation uses Pinterest for the study of audience and visual

rhetoric.

Pinterest and Audience

  • Because Pinterest is assumed to be a mostly

female social media site, it is a great place to talk about audience.

  • What makes a pin more effective?
  • How do we cater an image to a certain group?
  • What language can we use to attract this

audience?

  • Are there things in the website’s design that

indicate this audience?

Pins and Appeals
