- Trefor Bazett is an Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Victoria
Session Description
Social Media can be a powerful tool to help discover and support your passions. As both a professor and an educational YouTuber, I’ve found that teaching in these different contexts is complementary. While classroom environments allow for deep connections and sustained learning, the tremendous scale of social media allows instructors to leverage their content knowledge to make an impact on a global audience. In this talk I want to focus on the lessons I’ve learned to created educational content that works on social media, and ways in which those lessons have evolved my own pedagogical practices in the classroom.
