Lifelong Learner Campaign


It has been a long road to get here, but here we are.

The last three weeks of participating in this campaign has given me a greater appreciation for those who manage an online presence for a living because it takes a lot of time and effort.

I would like to say that my campaign to promote Lifelong Learners has been a success. I was able to utilize various online social media sites to spread my campaign and tried to educate others as to the importance of being a lifelong learner.
  • Instagram - 24 posts with 509 engagements
  • Facebook - 37 posts with 341 engagements
  • Twitter - 45 tweets with 43 engagements


Case Analysis

What posts worked best?

  • My Instagram posts got the most hits (509 engagements) and I’m thinking that is because most of my students and friends are checking their IG accounts more frequently than their Facebook accounts.

What trends did you find?

  • I found that the more posts I made of my students and things that went on in school or around the world, the more engagement I had received.

What received the most engagement?

  • I received the most responses from posts that were trending like United Airlines or Political humor. The Infographics that I would make and post on Instagram received 57% of the hits during the campaign. 

What was shared the most?

  • I really didn’t get too many things shared. I just had a bunch of friends, family and colleagues like or comment on things that they found interesting. Twitter (43 engagements) wasn’t working for me all that much. 

What images generated the most interest? Why?

  • Images of students at work or projects made by students got a lot of attention on Instagram more so than the same images posted on Facebook (341 engagements). I believe these infographics were popular because the pictures I used were recent and brought back fond memories from former students. Family and friends liked them because they were in good taste and informative or humorous. 

What else did you discover?

  • I also discovered that I was having waaayyyy too much fun making infographics. I was able to look at my Blogger statistics and was surprised to see that I was getting hits from all over the world at least once.

Time To Flush The CRAAP

Earlier in the semester, we had an assignment to research pieces of information and to see if they we factual or CRAAP!

What is CRAAP?

CRAAP is a test to see is an online piece of information or news article is valid or biased.

The CRAAP test looks at 5 areas (Hence the C-R-A-A-P )

  • Currency
  • Relevance
  • Authority
  • Accuracy
  • Purpose



Below is a quick video from Jane Says explaining the 5 areas of the CRAAP test

Education: What Should Students Learn?


Is it our obligation to teach our children about science over religion? Or data driven research over one's faith?


Take a look at this video by:



Something to think about from the other side of learning: 
What do you think should be learned.

Think about it?  
  • What is your thoughts about what students are being taught now as compared to what he's saying in his interview.
  • Post your thoughts in the comment section and let me know.
  • When you are done with that, check out my other social media posts about learning.

Learn Through Your Mistakes


You Are A Failure!
...and That is a Good thing!


We all make mistakes...
         ..it's what we do with the knowledge
 ..that we gain from these mistakes            
for learning will take place.


I've included quotes from some of our famous people in history.
  • “ Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” - Winston Churchill.
  • “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” - Robert F. Kennedy
  • “When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.” - Ellen DeGeneres
  • “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” - Thomas A. Edison
  • “The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” - Henry Ford
  • “You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.” - Johnny Cash

Get Your Group On!

Why do we have to do group work?

I end up doing all the work myself anyway....

Have you heard this before? Have you felt this way? 

Well, there are three easy steps you can do to make your group work seem a little more ...
ORGANIZED!


  1. Establish a set of norms and ground rules that everyone agrees to abide by.
  2. Establish roles for each member of the group and hold them accountable to it. 
  3. Take notes at each meeting and record everything for the group to reflect upon when needed.
