The world of social media

We had an interesting lecture here at Valkeakoski Adult Education Centre last Friday. Planning coordinator Satu Nurmela from the University of Turku gave an overview of what social media is and what some of its pedagogical applications might be.

The world is changing and the gap between the world of a teenager and the world of a senior citizen has never been wider. Eight out of the Top 10 websites in Finland are social media sites. You can check the situation in your country at http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries. This illustrates the impact of interactive media on our lives.

It is a website portraying a "subway map" of active links that shows what kind of interactive web content there is. Have a pleasant journey!
