Macarthur Foundation funds social media classroom project
A project to create a virtual community for teaching and learning with social media received funding from the Macarthur Foundation.
The Social Media Virtual Classroom will develop an online community for teachers and students to collaborate and contribute ideas for teaching and learning about the psychological, interpersonal, and social issues related to participatory media. This digital learning space will both feature and analyze the use of blogs, wikis, chat, instant messaging, microblogging, forums, social bookmarking and instructional screencasts for teachers and students.
Howard Rheingold is the principle investigator of the grant. Further discussion at the Smartmobs site.
