Pedagogical innovations for the millennial sport management student: Socrative and twitter

Pedagogical innovation involving smartphone technology paired with complementary applications may offer sport management faculty the opportunity to create an environment of engaging instruction. Technologically enhanced and innovative assignments have the potential to stimulate student interest and critical-thinking skills by presenting new experiences and active learning opportunities via participatory education. Through the discussion of technology integration and pedagogical innovation when teaching millennial students, the purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework-namely, the concerns-based adoption model (CBAM)-to introduce mobile technologies, such as Socrative and Twitter, into the sport management classroom.
