It is time to review the schedule for the placement of your session in the AAACE Agenda. This is the final draft of the Schedule. When you look up your name, use the detail listing to check what days/times you asked to be placed. This is a huge program and we can accommodate necessary changes in day and time now, but may not be able to do so after September 1, 2013 except in emergencies. Please carefully check your placement and send any requests to Ginger Phillips, AAACE Conference Planner with AAACE Session Change Request in the subject line. We will respond to your email, but it may take us up to a week to do so. Thanks for your help in "fine tuning" this agenda!
Social Media Use for Religious Education Ministry
Type of Presentation
Shared
Session Abstract
This study examines the experiences of Unitarian Universalist religious educators learning to use social media for religious education purposes. Initial findings indicate that this learning impacts overall social media use.
Target Audience
This session is ideal for individuals who are interested in the use of social media among religious educators and for religious education purposes. This is also a good session for those who want to know more about social media and social media use in general. Moreover, this is a good session for those interested in learning more about adult learning theory as it applies to social networking sites.
Learning Outcomes
Learners will be able to identify the hallmarks of social media platforms and discuss adult learning theories that inform social media use among religious educators.
Session Description
Social media is an intriguing site for research in both adult and religious education. No empirical studies have directly examined the intersections between and among adult learning, religious education, and social media. Thus, this qualitative investigation into the linkages among these areas is an important step toward a fuller understanding of the role of social media in adult and religious education.
