[Hasan Tinmaz]

Dear List
Members,


I trust
this e-mail finds you well! You are receiving this e-mail because of your
expertise and interest in social networking and
education. As such, I
would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing your expertise to a
forthcoming book edited by me, Dr. Hasan TINMAZ of the Istanbul Kultur
University, Turkey, entitled “Cases
on Social Networking Websites for Instructional Use”. 


As the
social networking websites extended into the daily lives of our students,
several questions have arisen about their effects on our students, schools, and
learning and teaching processes. Among these questions, how the students’
learning is affected by their existence on social networks is one of the most
important issues. In the fields of educational sciences, instructional
technologies, human resources management, etc., there exists a need for an
edited collection of cases in this area.



Cases on Social Networking Websites for
Instructional Use
initiates the discussion of issues and addresses the challenges of using
different social networking websites in learning and teaching, and delineates
the framework of social networking websites’ potential as innovative
instructional platforms. The casebook will attempt to answer different
questions regarding social networking website adoption in instructional
activities, and will present cases from different fields and applications. The
content of the casebook will emphasize merging both theoretical and practical
perspectives on effective social networking website applications. 



Cases
on Social Networking Websites for Instructional Use
invites
representatives from higher education, K-12 education, a range of industries,
and the corporate sector to share their experiences and examples which could
serve to develop new applications and implementations, or re-apply the existing
examples to re-investigate the outcomes of the earlier cases. The editor
invites author(s) from different fields to share their expertise with the rest
of the world.

networking and education fields, I would like to invite you to contribute a
