RE: Using Social Media to Teach Writing : A Lesson Plan for Steemhomework
I think is a good development, but i wonder how effecient social media would be in in learning/teaching.
I get distracted easily when trying to study online than in the library.
The amount of ads that pop up social mefia these days is just enough to distract.
I still wonder how students would express them selves exhuastively on social media owing to the fact that some social media have a limited numbers of text for a post.
This will encourage shorthands and abbreviations which at long run causes more harm than good.
Thank you for your comment @hilltop
specifically, I used the Instagram as the media for students to submit their work. I don't use it when I teach in classroom because it is hard to avoid students distracting. The reason I used this media is to promote autonomous learning for my students.
To deal with the limited number of texts, I suggested my students to write at 3-5 paragraphs in caption column, or the students can continue their paragraphs in comment column
