(Montana State University - Bozeman, Graduate School, 2011) Theobald, Katherine Loretta; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Peggy Taylor.
In our current society, students are inundated with social media. This study explored the impact of its use in a secondary science classroom specifically on discussion board responses and community building. Students utilized a social media outlet to conduct asynchronous discussions, collaborate with classmates, and expand their understanding of the material. The outcomes of this study were gauged through surveys, interviews, and output.
