investigateLet's communicate with our learners during this lesson. You will have gained some ideas about what kind of questions you would like to ask them about communicating through social media.

  1. Now discuss with your learners how they would best like you to communicate these questions to them. 
  2. Create a short survey/questionnaire and post this to your learners using the medium for which they have stated a preference.
  3. Include a question asking your learners for ideas on how they think social media could be used in their various classes.
  4. Study the responses and draw conclusions about:

    • the popularity social media might enjoy as a learning resource;
    • the challenges you would have to overcome to integrate social media in learning activities;
    • the feasibility of integrating social media – based on your ideas and those of your learners, do you think communicating through social media has educational value for you and your learners?
