F 1000 ICTC BALLROOM B 9:05 AM Technology, Social media OSLA SPOTLIGHT Why Social Networks Matter for Education Alec Couros Social networking services often get the bad rap of "time-wasters" or tools that kids use inappropriately. Yet in reality, there are many social networks built upon passion, kindness, transparency, sharing, and collaboration. This spotlight presentation will lead participants through a thoughtful exploration of these powerful human networks; the implications for practice, information and media literacy, and the shifting role of school systems. Dr. Alec Couros is an Associate Professor of educational technology and media at the Faculty of Education, University of Regina. He has given hundreds of workshops and presentations, nationally and internationally, on topics such as openness in education, networked learning, social media in education, digital citizenship, and critical media literacy. His graduate and undergraduate courses help current and future educators understand how to use and take advantage of the educational potential offered by the tools of connectivity.
