The Georgia Tech Brittain Fellows are collectively leading the way on campus with the use of social media in their classes. In this session three Brittain Fellows will highlight how they are using Twitter, Storify, Tumblr and Instagram for teaching and learning. The Fellows will provide brief demos of the platforms, share their experiences with student assignments that range from using tweets as reading notes to semester-long projects that integrate social media with posters and essays, and discuss the challenges of FERPA.
