Role Playing with Social Media
Role playing with social media is probably my favorite technology integration strategies.
Students love it, they are engaged and most importantly, learning is successfully moved beyond the classroom.
The concept is ridiculously simple; students interact in character via social media.
Let’s take it from there and look at some examples ...
First of all, you need a social media platform to have the conversations. Many schools have a forum built in to their website. The page where you post homework assignments probably has a forum. If you use Moodle, a Moodle forum will definitely work. You can create a Wikispaces page…it has a forum as well.
