I moved the bios outside the table. I think that my talk should follow Maria's introduction of the panel as it will contextualize why we have chosen to call what follows SMALL

AbstractWhile CALL, Computer-Assisted Language Learning, provides the access portal to online learning, SMALL, Social Media-Assisted Language Learning, furnishes the experience with research-based beliefs and learning outcomes, engaging students through interactions in familiar social settings.  Panelists present ways social media assists language learning, success stories, and SMALL's growing impact on language education.

Research on Social Media for Language Learning and Social Engagement 

 

Title: SMALL: Large Impacts on Language Learning and Social Engagement

 

Social Media_Assisted Language Learning (SMALL), grounded in the tenets of connectivism, offers "new virtual ecologies that afford language learning and socialization." (Valnecia, J., 2016).  Research provides deeper insights into these "new virtual ecologies" and offers a plethora of justifications, proven results, and recommendations for integration into language teaching and learning.  The presenter highlights the spectrum of research-based rationale that opens the doors for greater student engagement, motivation, and interactions.

Vance removed what was here and placed it outside the table.

The table was formatting it so that parts of the bios ran beyond the right margin.

If you like the new look delete this table. Otherwise revert to the way it was before my edit.
