Social Media for Education: Cleary University Tanya Joosten
This document discusses using social media for educational purposes. It provides tips for educators to build their professional learning networks on Twitter, including following relevant hashtags, joining live online discussions, and connecting with colleagues. While technology enables new forms of connection, the presenter emphasizes that pedagogical strategy is most important - focusing on communication, engagement, cooperation and feedback. Educators are encouraged to consider how any technology can enhance teaching practice, rather than the technology itself.
The document discusses the growing use of mobile devices and explores opportunities for mobile learning or mLearning in higher education settings. Some key points:
- Nearly all college students own mobile phones and use text messaging frequently.
- mLearning is defined as any learning that occurs when the learner is mobile, taking advantage of mobile technologies.
- Possible mLearning applications discussed include using text messaging for class reminders, polls and surveys, mobile video streaming, and social media like Twitter.
- Challenges to mLearning include potential increased cheating and distractions, but many opportunities exist to harness mobile technologies for teaching and learning.
A brief presentation concerning whether or not social media in the classroom is appropriate, and how it should be used.
Narrated by yours truly. A newer version will be uploaded soon to squash out some of the bugs.
The document discusses how college students use Facebook for both social and academic purposes. It provides statistics on Facebook's growth and widespread use among college students and young people. It then offers suggestions for how teachers can create a separate professional Facebook profile and use Facebook groups and features like photo sharing, notes, and discussions to connect with students in a controlled, appropriate way to potentially increase engagement and a sense of community.
The document discusses using Facebook in the classroom as a social networking tool. It outlines the various features of Facebook like live chat, photo and video upload, friend finder, news feed, and groups. It argues these tools could be beneficial for projects, constant updates, and creating virtual classrooms. However, it also notes privacy and monitoring concerns that would need to be addressed. Overall, the document concludes Facebook could be a "yes" for education by allowing teachers to connect with students on a platform they are already using.
Social media platforms like Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter can be useful tools in educational settings. Facebook allows for improved teacher-student communication outside of class and keeps students engaged through class discussions. Myspace enables group discussions through its groups feature and notifies users of new messages and comments through MyspaceIM. Twitter is useful for reminding students about homework and events, and can supplement language learning by exposing students to authentic examples in an English-speaking environment. All three platforms have the potential to engage more students in classroom discussions than traditional in-person methods.

You will get the opportunity to interact with these tools and discuss how they could be relevant to your work.
The major findings from the 2013 Social Media Higher Education Survey jointly conducted by Pearson Learning Solutions & The Babson Survey Research Group.
While most American households still pay for traditional cable, cord cutting is on the rise among millennials. Nearly all college students use some form of social media, and most colleges maintain social media presences. However, heavy social media use has been linked to negative mental health effects like lower self-esteem, as users compare their lives to idealized versions online. As technology and social media continue to evolve rapidly, experts recommend balancing online and offline social interaction.
The document summarizes research on college students' use of social media and their trust in environmental news from different media platforms. A survey of 54 college students found that Facebook is the most used and creates the best sense of community. Students trust environmental news from Facebook slightly more than other social media platforms but less than traditional media. The significance is that Facebook remains dominant but content flooding on social media is lowering trust in information shared there. Greater collaboration is needed between social and traditional media to improve credibility of environmental news online.

This document provides an overview of social media best practices and guidelines for using various social media platforms. It discusses using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other tools for networking, promotion and information sharing. Key recommendations include engaging audiences, encouraging user-generated content, being timely with updates, using multiple platforms, and establishing general usage guidelines. Examples are given of how various University of Washington departments and programs currently utilize different social media.
Communication technologies allow individuals or groups who are not physically present to connect electronically. This presentation focuses on learning management systems and social networks, using Facebook as the key example. Facebook was founded by Harvard students to connect friends and has grown significantly. It allows users to friend others, see news feeds of profile changes and events, send messages, join groups, upload photos and videos, and access accounts from mobile phones. Facebook pages allow organizations to share information and have discussion boards, video uploads and other features to engage communities, though some argue it does not enable deep community involvement and promotion. Potential privacy and location issues are also a concern for some Facebook users.
This document discusses the rise of social media and its growing use in higher education. It defines different types of social media and provides statistics on usage. Some key points made are that social media has overtaken porn as the top online activity, and that the largest segment of social media users are non-traditional students. The document also outlines ways that colleges are using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, blogs and videos to recruit and engage students. It provides an example of a study that found students using Twitter for educational purposes had higher GPAs than those not using Twitter.
The document proposes a Facebook group called "Face Screen" to promote habitual sunscreen application. It would send daily Facebook messages to users with sun exposure facts and encourage them to post about applying sunscreen. A prototype would be tested on 5 Stanford students by tracking their sunscreen use, social media activity, and attitudes over a month. Feedback would inform improvements to increase motivation and overcome potential shortcomings like users ignoring messages.
#BPDNOLA17 – The Social Media Toolkit goes on the roadLaurel Hitchcock
In November 2016, I had the pleasure of presenting with Allison Curington, Director of Field Education at the University of Alabama, about our Social Media Policy Toolkit at CSWE’s 2016 Annual Program Meeting in Atlanta, GA. Today, we are at BPD’s 2017 Annual Conference in New Orleans to share our work once again. We will be talking about a project that we have been working on for the past two years, a Toolkit for Social and Digital Media Policies in Field Education. Please join us at 11:00 AM in Bayside B at the Sherton in New Orleans for our presentation. Allison and I started collaborating on this toolkit after many, many conversations about the growing use (and misuse) of social media in field education by students, educators and field supervisors. We saw that field directors were increasingly dealing with ethical and practical issues related to the use of social and digital media in field education, and we wanted to provide information and tools to help field directors raise awareness with students and field supervisors.
The document summarizes the results of a survey of nearly 2,000 higher education professionals regarding their familiarity and use of Twitter. The key findings are:
1) Around 30% of respondents currently use Twitter, while over 50% have never used it and around 13% tried it but no longer use it.
2) Of current users, over 70% expect to increase their Twitter use in the coming academic year.
3) Common ways higher ed professionals use Twitter include staying up-to-date on news/trends and networking with colleagues. Some have also experimented with using Twitter in the classroom.
4) The majority of non-users cite a lack of time or familiarity with Twitter

Designing Web Interfaces Book - O'Reilly WebcastBill Scott
This is an update to the previous Designing Web Interfaces talk. This presentation was given on Feb. 3, 2009 over a live webcast via an O'Reilly Author Webcast special.
This presentation goes hand in hand with our book (Bill Scott & Theresa Neil) called Designing Web Interfaces: Principles and Patterns for Rich Interaction.
This presentation is much better suited for Slideshare than previous presentations as I took a lot of time to turn the movie screencasts into individual keyframes. All interactions now show in this presentation (that is why there are 300+ slides; in reality the presentation was more like 50 slides.)
