Speaker: Julie Kuntz, Curriculum Designer
What do you hope teachers will take away from this course?
Julie Kuntz: Hi, my name is Julie Kuntz and I am one of the curriculum designers for the course 5309: Building Classroom Community and Engagement with Social Media #TeacherTok. I hope that teachers take away from this course, a newfound sense of confidence when it comes to exploring utilizing and implementing social media and social media apps in their classrooms. Whether you are brand new to social media or you are already an experienced creator of social media content, there is truly something for everyone in this course all about social media.
What do you love about this course?
Julie Kuntz: One of my favorite things about this course is that we utilize some of the social media apps and tools that we talk about in the course in order to deliver content to all of you. For example, if you've taken other Teaching Channel courses with us in the past, you'll know that before each application, we have a written paragraph that has background information and ideas or concepts related to the application itself. In this course, we actually use YouTube Shorts which are really similar to a TikTok style or a Reel style video to explain all of the instructions and information for each application. We hope you enjoy seeing actual social media being used as exemplars throughout the course, and we hope you laugh along with some of our bloopers as well.
