Social Media for Civic Education : Engaging Youth for Democracy Hardback
by Amy L. Chapman
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Educational Media series
Hardback
Description
This open access book provides the theoretical and pedagogical foundations for a promising new approach to civic education: using social media to teach civics.
While many measures indicate that youth civic engagement has long been in decline, many of these measures fail to take into account all of the ways that youth can interact with civic life.
One of these understudied ways is through social media, including platforms like Twitter, where young people have the opportunity to encounter the news, engage with people in power, and bring attention to the needs in their community.
Throughout this volume, Chapman explores how and why teachers can use social media to teach civics, as well as how it might meet the needs of students in ways other approaches do not.
