| Introduction | This year’s Learning and Technology Symposium will examine social media from a variety of perspectives, with featured speakers ranging from socially conscious Saudi youth to academic experts in the field. In addition to the presentations and discussions, the Symposium aims to promote social media practices in schools and universities. National and international education and technology experts will join forces to: (1) develop a holistic educational program on social media aimed at high school students; (2) produce an academically-oriented case study on the use of social media during the Jeddah flood and; (3) initiate a research project that investigates the use of social media by educators in Saudi Arabia. It is thus hoped that this year’s symposium will make a lasting impact on the academic community and contribute to the advancement of social media as an instrument of positive change. |
