Enhancing Classroom Learning with iPads and Social Media Engagement

This article explores the effective use of iPads in classroom settings, particularly in sports media courses. By incorporating technology, students engage actively with learning materials—researching current events and utilizing social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The blended learning approach combines theory and practice, allowing students to analyze the impact of social media on communication. Eportfolios and Web 2.0 tools enhance the educational experience, leading to student-centered learning that addresses real-world issues through familiar technologies.
