Opening Facebook for Education
Nowadays, social media is very useful for education. There are many kinds such as Facebook, YouTube, My space, etc.
Visualising social computing output: Mapping student blogs and tweets
This chapter provides a case study in the development of a data mining approach to assess blogging and micro-blogging (or ‘tweets’) in a higher education setting. Data mining is the use of computational algorithms to analyse large datasets, and this chapter describes the use of the Leximancer software tool to perform a conceptual analysis of the blogs and tweets published by students in an undergraduate course about social media. A Leximancer analysis is represented visually as a ‘concept map’ showing the relationships between the concepts and ideas drawn out of the data automatically, rather than using pre-defined terms and keywords. In this chapter, Leximancer is used to produce a concept map of the student blogs and tweets to enhance evaluation of the students’ conceptual understanding of the syllabus, as well as more general observations about the use of these social media tools in higher education. This suggests a possible approach to analysing the potentially large volume of text-based information that can be produced by students in these social computing settings.

Using New Media for Educational Support in Higher Education: A Comparative An...
This document summarizes a study comparing the use of new media and web 2.0 tools for educational support by Thai and American professors in higher education. The study found that American professors more actively use popular social media technologies to encourage active learning, while Thai professors face more constraints from technological limitations and student readiness. The document reviews literature on using tools like blogs, wikis and social networking to enhance constructivist learning in higher education, noting benefits but also challenges in preparing teachers to effectively integrate these tools.
Social networking for educators
The document discusses how social networking tools like Facebook and Moodle can be used by educators for professional development and collaboration in the 21st century. It explains that social networks promote communication and knowledge sharing between educators. The Facebook group "e-Learning in Developing and Developed Countries" offers webinars and online courses on integrating technology for active learning. Another resource mentioned is Classroom 2.0, a Ning social network for educators to connect, share resources and ideas, and participate in online events and discussions.
Obarowski Social Networking
This document discusses using social networking sites like Facebook for educational purposes in higher education. It notes that most students use social networking and 60% discuss schoolwork online. The document then provides examples of how professors at the University of Florida use Facebook for announcements and discussions. Potential benefits include increased student engagement and confidence in virtual discussions compared to traditional classes. Facebook chat can also serve as virtual office hours to develop student-teacher relationships. However, clear norms and boundaries must be set to address privacy and ethical issues when using personal social media for educational purposes.
Social networking technology to enhance learning a case study
Rajib Kumar Roy presented on using social networking technology like Facebook to enhance learning in higher education. Some key points:
1) Technology enhanced learning (TEL) aims to maximize the student experience through educational technologies that promote communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
2) An experimental study of a Facebook group for a class found that discussion and commenting were very popular activities, and activity peaked at certain busy times.
3) Based on student feedback, most felt Facebook could be a useful supplemental learning technology, though less than half thought it directly helped their learning. The presentation evaluated using social media to enhance education.
Blended learning with web 2 clr
This document discusses blended learning and the use of Web 2.0 tools in education. It defines blended learning as courses that offer a blend of online content and face-to-face instruction. It explains that Web 2.0 refers to web applications that allow users to create and share content online in an interactive way. Specific Web 2.0 tools discussed include blogs, wikis, Moodle, and social networking. Examples are given of how teachers can incorporate these tools into their classrooms, such as having students collaborate on wikis or share resources through blogs.
EduCamp - academic social networks
This document discusses trends in educational software and the potential for academic social networks. It notes that students now spend more time online and communication trends are shifting. Traditional learning management systems (LMS) do not provide the same social networking functionality that students now expect. The document proposes a new platform called Ututi that would create academic social networks, featuring groups for student communication, course pages, and spaces for publishing course materials. Ututi is seeking universities to pilot the new academic social network platform.

However, some had privacy and distraction concerns. Blogs, microblogs, multimedia sharing, and digital curation were discussed as tools with benefits for learning when used appropriately. Risks like privacy issues must be considered.
Lo teaching techniques
This document discusses different techniques for online teaching according to the level of student interaction. It describes one-alone techniques where students learn on their own from online resources. One-to-one techniques involve communication between one student and teacher, such as learning contracts. One-to-many techniques have communication from one source to multiple people, like lectures. Many-to-many techniques feature interaction between many students, through debates, simulations, and discussion groups. Effective online teaching requires using technical resources and guidance from an instructor to support collaborative learning.
Facebook
Facebook is a free social networking website operated by Facebook, Inc. that allows users to join networks organized by schools, workplaces, and locations to connect with other people. Users can add friends, send messages, and update their profiles. Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while a student at Harvard for students to connect. It later expanded to include all college and high school students and eventually anyone over age 13. Some teachers are now using Facebook to engage students by having them create profiles for characters in books and write posts and comments in character. However, most schools block access to Facebook on school computers.
Social Networking in Education
The document discusses the potential benefits of using social networking in education. It notes that social networking can help students build connections with teachers and other students to enhance learning. While many educators are interested in using social networking, there are also concerns about issues like privacy and how sites may be blocked in schools. For social networking to truly support learning, it would need to be integrated with other online tools and used in a planned way within educational activities and collaboration.
Facebook in the Classroom using Groups
Facebook can be a useful tool for communication in educational settings for several reasons:
1) It allows for fast communication between students and staff, with some responses coming within seconds.
2) It is accessible to most students and staff, who are likely to already have Facebook accounts.
3) It can handle multimedia like images and videos to share examples of student work or information about opportunities.

Using Social network in Higher Education A case Study on the University of Pa...
The users which are using social networking sites nowadays by various strata of society such as students,
teachers, engineers, housewives and elderly people are increasing. So the goal of this paper is to invest social
networking in education especially at the universities.
Student spending more time on the social networking sites than on the e-learning programs, so social
networking can be used in a useful way to support e-learning. 54% of people who were surveyed about the
usage of social Networks said they used Facebook daily while 9% used MOODLE.
So this paper uses the social networks for e-learning as a case study on the university of Palestine.

This study evaluated the impact of an educational blogging activity on physical education (PE) students' knowledge of basketball skills and self-efficacy in information and communication technologies (ICT), compared to a website without blogging. Seventy undergraduate PE students were assigned to a blogging group or non-blogging group. Both groups used multimedia resources on basketball skills for 11 weeks. The blogging group created posts with text, images, and videos analyzing their performances, while receiving comments. Pre- and post-tests assessed basketball knowledge and ICT self-efficacy. While ICT self-efficacy increased more for the blogging group, basketball knowledge did not significantly increase for either group. This study contributes to research on using b

This document discusses integrating social networking tools into ESL writing classrooms, outlining both strengths and weaknesses. It explores using Facebook and Wikipedia specifically. Facebook can be used to construct a virtual classroom where students post compositions and teachers share resources. Wikipedia can serve as an online discussion forum where students write reviews and reflections. Integrating these tools may help broaden students' knowledge, increase motivation, and build confidence in writing skills. However, challenges include students having difficulty concentrating on materials while using computers, lack of equipment and internet access, and teachers having insufficient time to interact with students. More research is needed on attitudes towards using technology in ESL contexts.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to use facebook in the college classroom
- 1. Pornpan Phatinawin No. 11 TESOL 5
- 2. Educators are now turning to Web 2.0 tools, drawing upon their ability to assist in creating, collaborating on and sharing content. At present, little empirical research has been conducted on the value of Web 2.0 in education (Crook & Harrison, 2008).
- 3. While technological differences abound, social network sites are “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” (Boyd & Ellison, 2008, p. 211).
- 4. 1.Facebook is equipped with bulletin boards, instant messaging, email, and the ability to post videos and pictures. Most notably, anyone can post information and collaborate within the system. Recently, Facebook has opened up development of downloadable applications, which can further supplement the educational functions of Facebook.
- 5. 2.Beyond high usage rates and some technological advantages, social networks, such as Facebook, can provide numerous other pedagogical advantages to both teachers and students. 3.Facebook provides instructors opportunities and structures by which students can help and support one another by building their courses atop the community already established by the students themselves.
- 6. 4.Facebook also increases both teacher- student and student-student interaction in the form of web-based communication. Facebook helps instructors connect with their students about assignments, upcoming events, useful links, and samples of work outside of the classroom. Students can use Facebook to contact classmates about questions regarding class assignments or examinations as well as collaborate on assignments and group projects in an online environment.
- 7. Instruction in using Facebook should be an integral part of teacher education programs, particularly with so many different types of social networks emerging. As Voithofer (2007) notes, instructing teacher education students on social networks encourages them to consider
- 8. 1) The technical and pedagogical characteristics of educational technology. 2) The social aspects of educational technology. 3) How to think about emerging technologies in relation to teaching .
- 9. The following list provides an overview of the different ways that Facebook can be integrated into a course. 1)Profile Page 2) Creating a Group Page for a Class 3) Replacing/Duplicating webcourse functions on Facebook 4) Integration of Facebook Applications
- 10. 1)An instructor should create an additional Facebook profile for professional use only. 2)Instructors must inform students that they have a Facebook profile. 3)Instructors should create an icebreaker activity on Facebook. 4) Instructors post podcosts, websites, and videos on Facebook as a course tool.
- 11. Facebook’s networking and social communication capabilities can benefit both the instructor and the student by tapping into a greater number of learning styles, providing an alternative to the traditional lecture format, creating an online classroom community, and increasing teacher- student and student-student interaction.
