United Kingdom: First ‘social media’ GCSE lessons in schools
GCSE pupils are being taught how to use social networking sites, such as Facebook and MySpace, as part of their English Language qualification, with the launch of a new ‘social media’ course.
The programme, notes the Daily Telegraph, entitled Social Media Fundamentals, teaches students how to best use social media websites in promoting their skills to potential employers and improving their communication capabilities. The first school to incorporate the course into the English Language curriculum is the boys division of Bishop Challoner Catholic School, based in East London.
