Jeffrey Carpenter co-authors journal article

Jeffrey Carpenter, assistant professor of education and director of the Teaching Fellows, published an article in the peer review journal Kappa Delta Pi Record along with co-author Daniel G. Krutka of Texas Woman’s University. It is the sixth publication Carpenter has penned with Krutka.

The article, “Why Social Media Must Have a Place in Schools,” appears in Volume 52, Issue 1 of the journal, released in January, and provides an argument for how and why social media can be used in schools.

The abstract reads as follows:

“While most young people regularly consume and produce social media content, many schools focus on what students should not do with these technologies rather than address what students and teachers can do. The authors share ways that some educators leverage social media to enhance the who, when, where, why, how, and what of educational processes.”
