Editor's Notes
- My work with these initiatives has gained national attention. Last year, my survey of students' use of Twitter was quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education's Wired Campus, and this summer, my social media work on Facebook was highlighted as well. I have presented my research, including pedagogical uses, best practices, and faculty development tips, on several emerging technologies projects, including social media and virtual worlds at the EDUCAUSE annual conferences, several Sloan-C conferences, the New Media Consortium annual conference, the National Communication Association annual conference, and others. My work was mentioned in various technology blogs and media outlets, such as Ed Tech Magazine, eCampus News, and EDUCAUSE Quarterly. In addition, I am the EDUCAUSE social media constituent group leader, a reviewer for the EDUCAUSE Quarterly, and a reviewer for the EDUCAUSE annual conference. I am also a member of the EDUCAUSE evolving technology steering committee, the ELI Focus Group steering committee, the Sage Publications digital media advisory board, and the Sloan-C Blended conference steering committee.
- These students are obviously not raised in my generation. Although I scored a 97/100 on the PEW survey “how Millenial are you?” – I was raised in a much more optimist time where information was still scare.Students are less concerned with making money and more concerned about the dollar spent.They are overwhelmed by the world’s problems since they are more aware of them – they want to solve them, so they want courses with real life problem skills.As Shannon from Seton Hall Law School stated in ELI Mobile session the first week in March, they view e-mail as old technology or for old people. They don’t believe in getting information from the sage on the stage, since they HAVE access now to all the information in the worldThey need help managing that information and analyzing that informationThey need to feel connected to learn
- ONLINE COUORSES: POOR COMMUNICATIONAs Metts (2003) reported that “Over half (52%) said the worst part of the online experience was poor communication. And half of those (26% of the total) said the problem was communicating with their instructors” (para 16). STUDENTS NEED GOOD COMMUNICATION According to a survey by Joosten (2009), students reported that they need good (67%) and frequent communication (90%) with their instructor and good communication with their classmates (75%). They also reported that they need to feel connected to learn (80%) (see http://tinyurl.com/yafu8qz). Connecting with students and building connections amongst students allows us to create learning communities. Community and peer networks increases students motivation to perform and provides them with resources to help do better in class.
- D2L only pushes down e-mail, no discussion notifications for posts, no mobile notifications, etc.STUDENTS DON’T CHECK EMAILcPEW Study – don’t check email??As Shannon from Seton Hall Law School stated in ELI Mobile session the first week in March, they view e-mail as old technology or for old people.
- STUDENTS USE SOCIAL MEDIA OFTENAccording to Bulik (July 8th, 2009) “Out of the 110 million Americans (or 60% of the online population) who use social networks, the average social networking user logs on to these sites quite a bit. They go to social networking sites 5 days per week and check in 4 times a day for a total of an hour per day. Nine percent of that group stay logged in all day long and are ‘constantly checking what's new’” (para 7).
- In 2004 a study at UW system reported that the majority of students do not want their personal media convoluted with course-related media5 years later in 2009, that has changedSTUDENTS WANT SOCIAL MEDIAPreliminary research conducted (see http://tinyurl.com/yafu8qz) indicates to us that the majority of students would like to receive communication about their course via text messaging and that the majority of students are on Facebook where they communicate most often.
- What is social media?Social media is media which is used to build social networks and connections for sharing information via a mediated channel. It also is considered user-constructed media that is shared through social networks. In some cases, social media has been referred to as social networking sites (SnS) or tools or Web 2.0 technologies. More specifically, Boyd and Ellison (2007) describe "web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and (3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system" (para 4). Examples of social media may include Twitter, Facebook, Second Life, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr, and more.Social media tools, such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube, have the potential to increase communication among faculty and students, increase engagement in the classroom, and create peer networks among students, faculty, and the community. With the advancement of the functionality of mobile technologies and the widespread ownership on college campuses, social media tools that have the potential to increase engagement and interactivity are literally at students fingertips.
