These are other ways students can help build a classroom community and converse with one another through using different technologies:
- Wiki
- Class discussion boards
- Podcasting
- Social tagging
- Video Blogging
You can also promote social literacy by:
- Creating classroom norms for the students at the beginning of the year
- Have large and small group discussions
- Use blogs or other interactive technology for the students to respond to one another
- Allow enough time in the classroom for all students to share their ideas
- Introduce different social settings to students, and then discuss how the students felt afterwards
- Discuss the importance of social cues
- Practice and model how to talk to one another –be active listeners and communicators
Here is also a short video clip for youtube.com, about a Life Skills program, which addresses the many benefits that social literacy is about -such as promoting confidence and responsibilities. I hope you like it!
