This document discusses the impact of social media on teacher-student relationships from three perspectives: digital hidden transcripts, teacher-student power plays, and dialogic resistance. Digital hidden transcripts refer to underlying student feelings expressed online through blogs and social media. Teacher-student power plays can be a way for students to negotiate classroom conventions but may challenge teacher authority. Dialogic resistance involves students composing their own narratives online to challenge school practices, which teachers must reflectively respond to. The document explores these concepts to analyze whether social media itself or human behaviors should be blamed for its effects on teacher-student relationships.

Say What?!? Ensuring Everyone has a Voice during Online Course DiscussionsPatrick Lowenthal
The document discusses strategies for keeping students engaged in online course discussions. It recommends a three-pronged approach of preparing students, getting discussions started, and maintaining momentum. Specific techniques include assigning roles, limiting posting lengths, acknowledging contributions, using discussion protocols, and giving students responsibilities like summarizing discussions. The goal is to make discussions meaningful and equitable while avoiding them becoming tedious busywork.
Social media can have both advantages and disadvantages for students. While it allows for easy communication and collaboration, as well as developing skills needed for careers, excessive use of social media can be distracting and reduce face-to-face social skills. It may also potentially lead to attention issues or aggressive behavior in some cases. Whether social media truly affects student behavior or is just emulated is still debated.
The document provides an overview of the Second Vatican Council, describing it as the largest and most groundbreaking council in the Catholic Church's history. It enacted significant changes to Catholic doctrine, dogma, and procedures that had major effects both inside and outside the Church. These changes modernized the Church, making it more tolerant and accepting of other religions. The council far exceeded expectations in the scope of its discussions and produced more documents than the previous 20 councils combined. It asserted power away from the rigid Curia and allowed for real introspection and debate among bishops.
The document provides an overview and sample classes for a course titled "Making a Difference: Strategies for Solving Social Problems". The first class focuses on shifting the discussion from solely focusing on problems to also highlighting solutions. It includes introductions, activities examining what students view as problems in the world and identifying corresponding solutions, and a demonstration of the Solutions Journalism Story Tracker database. The class aims to help students recognize the importance of solutions-focused reporting and identify evidence-based responses to social issues. The overview suggests future classes will focus on measuring impact and developing expertise in solutions for particular issue areas.
This document outlines strategies for effective online discussions, focusing on the three C's: Community, Construction, and Coaching. It discusses establishing a sense of community through first impressions, online presence, and netiquette. For construction, it addresses deciding the role, purpose, and practical elements like group size and format of discussions. For coaching, it provides techniques for advancing discussions through probing questions, timely feedback, and addressing weak participation. The overall message is that online instructors should focus on engaging students and fostering intellectual development through their discussion facilitation approaches.

Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.

DEBATE SCRIPT
Katherine (Moderator) :
Good morning Ladies and Gentleman. This debate will come to order. I am pleased to welcome you
all to the Kalam Kudus English Debate Event 2017.
The topic being debated today is Impact of Social Networking for Students
Seated on our right representing the Affirmative Side are Mr. Kevin Darius and Ms. Ika Chandriyani
Speaking for the Opposition Side are Mr. Karel Roberto and Ms. Friscilla Nikonov.
And I, Katherine Gunadi, am your Moderator
For the first round, the first speaker of each group will introduce the team and point out the reason of
being pro/contra to the topic given.
For the second round, the speakers from each group will deliver the speech to express your opinion
about the topic, and the other group can give the arguments. And finally, the last speaker from each
group will conclude your opinion.
The third round will be question and answer session. Each group will ask a question to the other
group and the other group has to answer the question.
Lastly, moderator will give a conclusion from those arguments by the two teams,
Round 1
Katherine (Moderator):
Now, let the first speaker from affirmative team to explain the topic. The time is yours.
Ika Chandriyani (Pro):
Thanks for the time that given to us to participate in this debate. Let me introduce my team:
1. My name is Ika Chandriyani as the first speaker and the third speaker. I’ll deliver our reason to be
pro with this topic and conclude our opinion,
2. And my friend, Kevin Darius as second speaker. He will deliver the arguments in the pro side.
We choose to be pro with this topic because nowadays social networking is very popular.
There are many positive and negative impacts from this site in the internet. After discussing this
topic, we hope that we can increase the positive side and decrease the bad effect.
Katherine (Moderator) :
Thank you. That’s the opinion from affirmative team. And it’s time for the first speaker of negative
team to gives your opinion. The time is yours.
3. Friscilla Nikonov (Contra):
Thank you. First of all, let me introduce my team:
1. My name is Friscilla Nikonov as the first speaker and third speaker. I’ll deliver the reason of us,
being contra with this topic and conclude our arguments.
2. Here is my friend, Karel Roberto as the second speaker. He will deliver the arguments in the
contra side.
The social network is a social structure made up for individuals or group to be connected by one or
more specific types of relationship, such as friendship, kinship, and also included: sexual
relationship, or relationships of beliefs, knowledge or prestige. Actually, we never realize that
actually the social network brings us to the bad life. It has a lot of disadvantages especially in
education and lifestyle sectors.
Katherine (Moderator):
Okay, that’s the opinion from negative team.
Round 2
Katherine (Moderator):
The next turn is from the second speaker of affirmative team to gives your arguments. The time is
yours.
Kevin Darius (Pro) :
All we know that social network has very much positive impact. In the educational sector, there are
some benefits, such as for the learning discussion media. Many students sometimes feel like they’re
not able to solve their task. So, they can solve their problem by discussions in social network with
their friends or another people who could help.
Katherine (Moderator):
Thank you. How about the arguments from negative team? For the second speaker of negative team,
the time is yours.
Karel Roberto (Contra):
Social network has many bad effect for students. In education sectors, it can reduce time for study.
Through the Internet and other social networking sites, students will forget about the time. They
waste their time in social networking. In the social network we can also find some unnecessary data
due to lack of supervision from parents, such as porn images/videos that should not be seen by
teenagers.
Ika Chandriyani (Pro):
Another advantage is the social network can increase the students’ creativity. Given this social
networking, students accelerated to create a work to attract the attention of other users. That way,
students will be stimulated to increase their skills. For example by writing an article, or post on a
blog. It will increase communication among users, even enrich language skills because of the
possibility to make contact with the youth from different parts of the world.
Friscilla Nikonov (Contra):
Level of language comprehension becomes worse. For teenagers, there are no rules of spelling and
grammar on the social networking site .They just make their own without caring about good
grammar in communicating. It is slowly but surely killing the good communication skills in the real
4. world, moreover it kills their writing skills according to the standard and correct spelling in school.
Kevin Darius (Pro):
From the lifestyle sectors we can also find a lot of advantages from the social network. Through the
social network, students can develop a sense of independence and increase positive self-expression.
We know that nowadays, there are many kinds of groups in social network that offer us to join them.
Wa can independently join the group if we feel that it brings the positive impact to ourselves. For
example we can join a group that has an activity for helping victims of natural disasters.
In addition, social network can increase solidarity among users. Students can communicate with
other users continuously, so there will be a high sense of brotherhood among them. Beside,
social network also can help to increase critical thinking and making decision.
Karel Roberto (Contra):
It is known by everyone that social networking overload can also give very bad effect to students’
lifestyle. They become lazy to communicate in the real world, because they are too interested with
their new friends in social networking. At last, this will make students are more selfish. Moreover,
they won’t even empathize with their real life environment. Their sensitivity to the surrounding
environment is murdered by the pleasure to their friends on social networking sites.
Katherine (Moderator):
Time is up! All arguments have been given. And now, please provide your conclusion. For the
speaker from affirmative team, the time is yours.
Ika Chandriyani (Pro) :
To conclude, social network has a lot of advantages in students’ life. Social network has also make
students’ life easier in many sectors, such as education, life style, and relationship among people.
Bad impacts can easily prevented by using it wisely.
Katherine (Moderator):
Thank you. What about the conclusion from negative team. Let the speaker provide your conclusion.
The time is yours.
Friscilla Nikonov (Contra):
From those arguments, we can conclude that social network is really not good for students. There are
many bad impacts not only in the education and lifestyle, but also in other life sector. Until now,
there are a lot of victim of the crime of the social networks. Almost all students waste their time to
do something that useless for themselves. It can destroy their brain’s work. And the worst thing is
that it can destroy the moral attitude of our country.
Round 3
Katherine (Moderator):
Well done. The next session is question and answer. The first question is from affirmative time. The
time is yours.
Ika Chandriyani (Pro):
To the speakers from negative side, if you don’t agree with the social networking service in
educational sector, will you be able to recieve a lot of knowledge from books as wide as what social
5. network gives? How?
Katherine (Moderator):
Okay. It’s enough. For the negative team, please respond the questions. The time is yours.
Karel Roberto (Contra):
Of course we can. Each book has different information and details. So that, as long as we read
several books for our references, the informations gotten will also be wide. Besides, we all know that
informations from internet are mostly taken from books, right?
Katherine (Moderator):
Okay, the next turn is from negative team to ask some question for the affirmative team. The
time is yours.
Friscilla Nikonov (Contra):
To the speakers from affirmative side, how if the Learning Discussion Media that you discussed
make students having no effort to study and answer their tasks by themselves yet asking all of their
task to be done by people in the Discussion Forum (a.k.a. cheating) ?
Katherine (Moderator):
Thank you. For the affirmative team please respond the question.
Kevin Darius (Pro):
Nowadays, teachers will be more active in social networking media. They can check either their
students copy paste the answers completely from internet or take the explaination or details only to
answer their tasks that they do not understand.
Katherine (Moderator):
Well. Question and answer session has been completed.
From this debate, we can conclude that actually the social networks have a lot of benefits for
students if we use it properly. On the other hand, it can also be a bad impact in student life if we use
overloadly and without awareness. I’m as moderator apologizes if there are any mistakes in my
speech or behavior either intentionally or unintentionally. Thank you for your attention and see you
next time.
