As I'm a little more than a month out from the semester's end, I've been reflecting on different aspects of the semester: things that worked well, things that didn't work at all, and things that could be tweaked for the future. In particular, I've been musing on how I integrated social media into my classes.
When Google Wave first burst on the scene in 2009, little information was available to learn how to use this tool. Now, tutorials, resources and tips abound, but a reader must wade through the maze of information to find appropriate tools for teachers and students. We've done that work for you with this list of twenty-five tips, ideas and resources that may galvanize educational uses for the Wave.

The integration of technology into an English graduate seminar classroom, in other words, poses questions about how we're training the next group of scholars, about our pedagogy, and about how we've done things for the last X-number of years. This is not to say that it's a bad thing. In fact, it might be a very, very good thing. But I think it underscores why we had such a hard time coming up with this list and why it will be difficult for faculty to integrate the new tools into their graduate seminars.

This resource looks at the key social media technologies and tools and how they can be used for learning and performance enhancement
Schools have been clamoring for social media but what happens when there are too many people using it however they want with no guidance? Luckily there is a social media policy being written as we speak over on Google Wave. In an open wave that anyone can edit, the policy is truly in its infancy right now.
There is an interesting discussion going on inside Google Wave by both educators and students about how Google Wave could be used in the classroom. One of the most interesting Waves currently on-going is titled Uses of Google Wave in the Classroom, it was started by Stuart Ridout and I really encourage you to give it a read and join the discussion if you're a student, educator or just generally interested and opinionated.
Joining such powerful critics of the social media revolution as Oxford neuroscientist Baroness Lady Susan Greenfield, Archbishop Nichols noted the “transiency” and dehumanisation of social life on community networks like Facebook and Twitter.
