=Welcome to the K-12 Social Media* and Deeper Learning Framework=

This wiki is the final project for a course on [|Peer-to-Peer University: Using Social Media and Web 2.0 to promote deeper learning]. Participants in this course spent six weeks reading, discussing and experimenting with social media in the classroom. Our particular focus was on the following guiding question: How can we use social media in the classroom to promote deeper learning? The pages of this wiki are our answers to that question.
 * Introduction**

The //K-12 Social Media and Deeper Learning Framework// is a practical guide with basic definitions, resources, links and sample lesson plans. It is divided into chapters that explore the different aspects of deeper learning: Core Academic Knowledge, Critical Thinking, Complex Problem Solving, Effective Communication, Working in Collaboration, Learning how to Learn and Global Perspective. We have borrowed the concept of deeper learning from the [|Hewlett Foundation]and added to it some of our own categories.

Use the table of contents below to navigate to the different sections of this wiki. The framework does not need to be read sequentially. Feel free to jump around and go straight to the section that is of most interest to you.
