Below are a few tips and resources from my presentation, Engaging Parents with Technology and Social Media. Every school needs a social media plan and guidelines. Check out how other schools use social media to inform parents. Have a VLE or LMS where students and parents can check grades, homework, see student work, be notified of important notices, and find important information.

Ideas range from games based learning , to the use of social media and networking, to simpler approaches such as the use of digital cameras in art or data logging in science. Let me give you an example: Many schools, colleges and universities have by now implemented a managed learning environment (MLE) sometimes referred to as a virtual learning environment (VLE) or Learning Management System (LMS). I know it''s has been said many times before, but it''s worth saying again.

Below are four reasons why the Social Web and associated media are changing higher education. Firstly.the Social Web connects people together At Plymouth University, we very quickly began to explore the ways Social Web tools could support our students. Here social media were used to connect people, enabling them to collaborate together in project work, small group learning and online discussions.

So I started asking around, bugging individuals and querying social media. Moodle – the popular LMS/VLE takes some backend skills to install and host, but can also be accessed from hosting services like MoodleCloud.

It can also be a virtual classroom tool or a virtual learning environment (VLE). Students can use platforms such as chat, social media channels and online forums to learn, discuss, and debate in a more collaborative, interactive, and personal learning environment.

There can also be a temptation for children to use other technologies whilst viewing content, such as utilising social media and temporary blocks on other tools during flipped learning activities should be considered. The good news for this point however, is that there is no concrete evidence to demonstrate that students are working for longer hours in front of screens or that a flipped classroom approach causes serious problems to student’s social skills.

For some time, educators have been subverting established methods and turning their backs on institutional tools and technologies such as the managed learning environment (also known as LMS or VLE). Learning by watching YouTube or participation in social media discussions are certainly methods that are gaining traction. Punk educators have a lot to do with this - it's not just the disruptive nature of social media and personal technologies.

Spontaneous network connections, incorporating social media into physical spaces, the use of digital repositories such as Wikipedia, all seemed radical several years ago. There was a serious underpinning philosophy, where students gain a personal space on the web which they can control, and which is the antithesis of the institutional VLE/LMS.

This was the first-half of a joint presentation at Coventry University as part of my visiting fellowship at the Disruptive Media Learning Lab. The lyrics in the latter, which some argue presage social media – okay, sure – but perhaps more aptly simply reflect someone who was active in (or at least aware of) the discussion forums and chatrooms of the 1990s: I scan my computer looking 4 a site.

The institutional learning platform - the VLE - is a classic case of decisions made about learning without consulting the learner. The advent of social media, mobile communications and digital media facilitate large, unbounded personal learning networks that mimic the characteristics of rhizomes. I recently heard a story about the building of a new university campus. Unusually, the architect hadn't designed any pedestrian paths into his plan.

This talk was presented at Coventry University as part of my visiting fellowship at the Disruptive Media Learning Lab. Indeed, if we take time to unpack the general orthodoxy of educational technology as a “positive” attempt to improve education, then a variety of different social groups and with different interests, values and agendas are apparent. They are political, social – shaping culture and politics and institutions and individuals in turn.
