Description
Socializing the Classroom: Social Networks and Online Learning, by Susan B.
Barnes, examines how social media can be used in education through two research grants and real-world applications.
Barnes analyzes social media including Facebook, Courseware, and Second Life, while providing a theoretical foundation for examining social software.
A new generation of students is surrounded by digital technologies, leading scholars and teachers to consider virtual worlds to engage students. By bringing together human-computer-interaction theories with social theory, Socializing the Classroom creates a theoretical foundation for future research in the area of social media, online learning technologies, and the development of social networks.
Readers will gain a better understanding of how students use online learning environments to communicate task-oriented messages and maintain social interactions.
This is an essential text for scholars, students, and those interested in social networks and the implementation of technology in education. Â
