Social Media in the Classroom: Create, Innovate, and Collaborate
Sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank , BBVA Compass, The Mike & Gillian Goodrich Foundation
Social media as well as popular media (music, movies, television, etc.) can be used to enhance the learning experience for students while simultaneously allowing them to integrate the basics of economics, personal finance and college and career ready standards into their daily lives. This hands-on workshop will highlight a variety of innovative student-generated projects which utilize music, media, current events and popular culture and demonstrate how they can be offered to students in any classroom in both a traditional and social media driven format. Participants are encouraged to bring their own device and follow along with us in a sampling of directed experiments that use popular media to meet standards. 
Registration is limited to teachers in grades 9-12. Presented by Kim Holder, Director, University of West Georgia Center for Economic Education.
