Social Media

Resources:

  • Here is an editable Facebook template link by @russeltarr.
  • You can easily download/edit/print screen a Twitter/Instagram/Snap Chat template from Google Images. 
  • Try this website Fake Text here.


What to do:


You can use these activities as exit passes or as ways to summarise the learning your students have undertaken in a simplified manner.
  • Create a display board out of the tweets written?
  • Create a class hashtag? Share important information? E.G #RevisionIdeas15
  • Draw images to represent learning via the Instagram statuses.
  • Get students to take over the ‘class’ Instagram account and share pictures of their learning for a week? 
  • Put yourself in other peoples shoes and imagine what they would tweet/post/share?
  • Use the Facebook profiles to demonstrate connections between famous/important figures across a variety of subjects.
  • Snapchat homework/controlled assessment tasks and set expiry times based on deadlines.

Variations:

Ask students to create their own social media platform? Ask them how it can benefit their learning?
