Episode Synopsis
On this week’s podcast Victoria, Metin, and Stephanie explore the positives and negatives of using social media in the classroom, as well as the impact it has had on art education. While social media continues to evolve and shape the lives of students, educators have started to incorporate it into their lessons as a way to make learning relevant and engaging. In doing so, certain challenges have surfaced. During their discussion, they provide insight from the perspectives of elementary and secondary teachers by sharing personal anecdotes from their own experiences as teachers.ReferencesGreenhow, C., & Lewin, C.
