Research Questions

The purpose of this study is to investigate instagram use among English pre-service teachers (EPST) to support their language learning in a particular course. This study sought to explore the following research questions: (1) How do EPST explore instagram to accomplish Online Task-Based Language Learning (OTBLL)? (2) What contents are created and shared by EPST to accomplish OTBLL? To collect the data, this study applied observation and content analysis. In addition several tasks were designed to be accomplished by EPST. The findings shows that EPST were able to integrate both the ability to use instagram and the ability to integrate it for OTBLL. The contents that EPST created and shared met the requirement of OTBLL. The contents included several types: creating video to explain topic assigned, writing phonetic transcription, and other tasks. The results of this study are expected to contribute in improving EPST language skills and their ability to explore social media use for language learning. Being able to seize social media to support language learning is a necessary skill to be nurtured for future language teacher in the 21st century.

Pedagogical Approaches

Drawing from Jordan’s (2008) notion of deterritorialization, this chapter explores ways in which music teachers collaborate and exchange ideas in digitally mediated spaces. One such way is through Facebook. With over 1.1 billion unique monthly visitors, Facebook has changed the spaces for sharing music teachers’ pedagogical approaches and techniques, making it a potentially powerful tool for music teaching and learning. This chapter will examine the use of two private Facebook groups: Music Teachers (32,000+ members) and Little Kids Rock Teachers (1600+ members). Utilizing guidelines of content analysis outlined by Bauer and Moehle (2008), we examined over 800 written posts from these Facebook groups to better understand the ways teachers use Facebook to build community, share resources, and collaborate. We surveyed participants who are the most active posters on these two social media sites to develop an understanding of how these tools function as a vehicle for music teaching and learning. Building off Salavuo’s (2008) notion of social networks as a medium for sharing and providing information for music learning, this chapter examines the content of teachers’ engagement. An examination of emergent themes found in the content of Facebook posts reveals insights into the sorts of collaborations music teachers have in social media.

At Home

Gender transitioning, with a punk music setting was always going to be controversial. Especially in this internationally ‘first’ YA novel with a trans co-author Ryan who had transitioned from female to male (ftm). However we did not expect the speed of social media which made ‘f2m: the boy within’ a fascinating case study in online collaboration techniques. These included Skype plotting, webchats, guest blogs, book trailer and Twitter, by the co-writers in different countries, and the YA readers and reviewers. Authors are not solo creators. Professionally, they may work at home, but are linked internationally, by new social media.

Constructivist Approaches

Social interaction is seen as a key tenet of constructivist approaches to learning. There is a significant body of literature looking into online collaboration for learning, however less is known about how students experience collaboration more broadly. Understanding student experience may help to understand ways of ensuring online collaboration is successful. This student-led study aimed to explore what can be learnt from student perspectives of online collaboration. This study is embedded in a larger research program surrounding a 2019 course renewal project. Ten undergraduate law students were interviewed as part of the overall study but with additional semi-structured questions regarding collaboration. Participants were enrolled in a mix of online and blended units. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed. Four themes were interpreted: 1) pre-existing social relationships facilitate online collaboration; 2) social media platforms enable interpersonal interaction and, as a result, online collaboration; 3) university-provided platforms lacked social elements of collaboration; and 4) face-to-face collaboration appears frictionless compared to online only collaboration. This study indicates the value of exploring collaboration as a broad social phenomenon rather than one purely focussed on educational designs that promote collaboration. Results suggest a considerable interaction between the interpersonal (friend focus) and study (learning focus). In the online space, collaboration was mediated by pre-existing embodied relationships and social media forums. There was a sense that social media activity would be difficult to mandate. This raises challenges, including how to manage equity issues around access to informal platforms; and how to incorporate into learning environments technologies that are experienced as ‘frictionless’ (i.e., easy and achievable without thought) and which appear to promote collaboration.
