As I continued to look for more aspiring teachers to follow and learn from their experiences, I came across a site entitled "Lisa Nielsen: The Innovative Educator." First of all, that was a captivating title to draw other educators in. Lisa's site clearly expressed thoughtful thinking and innovative ideas that would enrich student learning.
One of the interesting things Lisa discusses in her blog is the use of social media and how to effectively incorporate into lessons. Understanding the concerns some parents and other education staff may express regarding social media, Lisa explained the pros and cons of using such materials. Lisa describes the concerns about using social media and uses techniques that will diminish the risk of students using the internet and having access to these social sites. A certain site that Lisa discusses is "MovieStarPlanet." A site that is educative and student-friendly by allowing them to participate in language games, create different forms of digital media and to communicate with other students in various schools. MovieStarPlanet provides students the opportunity to use the a media that they enjoy and to do so in a safe environment.
This quote embodies exactly what Lisa has accomplished in her classroom. She has used a form of media literacy that works with her students and provides them with an educative experience. Lisa has expressed interesting ideas that are beneficial for her students in the classroom. I will continue to follow her blog to learn of more ideas of how to incorporate social media in a safe and educated environment.
