In the ISTUS project, we have a hard time to structure our discussion on social media tools, their distinctive features and their relation to learning as well as to teaching. An article by Matt Bowera, John G. Hedberga and Andreas Kuswaraa describes a systematic approach to social media tools - in relation to their use in learning.
The authors start with a short literature review on Web2.0 in relation to teaching and learning, citing the most important contributions in the field: There are many examples of the use of social media in education; however, only a few papers or collected works provide a systematic framework, which could help educators to thoughtfully design learning experiences. Bower, Hedberg and Kuswara then introduce the Anderson and Krathwohl's Taxonomy of Learning, Teaching and Assessing. This system of sorts of subject matter content and levels of the cognitive process, combined with types of pedagogical approaches, result in a neat table (pp. 190ff), which qualifies to sort a bunch of social media tools and their educational use. The paper ends with two examples for designing learning scenarios based on this framework.
