Social media has invaded every aspect of our lives, including the classroom, and the 2013 school year will be no different. A 2012 study of 4,000 higher education professionals found that a full third (33.8%)of faculty respondents are using social media – including Twitter, Facebook, blogs and wikis – to help make lessons more engaging and real for today’s students.
Now, there is a new participatory media platform called Findery. Founded by Caterina Fake – the entrepreneur behind Flickr and Hunch – Findery is helping make lessons come alive through attaching stories, life events and little known facts to places on a map that only people “in the know” can provide.
