The document discusses the use of the curation tool Scoop.it to create a collection of websites related to Holocaust education. The author found Scoop.it easy to use but was missing a direct shareable link option. Some already curated sources had broken links requiring additional work. Sources also needed screening for political bias. Overall, Scoop.it enabled curating useful resources to enhance a unit on the Holocaust when teaching Elie Wiesel's book Night.
The document discusses how the concept of friendship has changed with the rise of technology and social media. It defines real friends, virtual friends, and acquaintances. While real friends are those one spends quality time with in person, virtual friends are online connections that may or may not have meaningful engagement. Younger generations are more likely to initially connect online before potentially meeting in person, while older generations prefer meeting in person first. All agree that real-life interactions are most important for close friends, but social media helps maintain connections. The qualities valued in friends differ between online and real-life relationships.
The article discusses whether society, especially young people, have become addicted to social media technology. The author argues that overuse of social media can negatively impact users' mental health and social skills. He supports this argument with research finding that people prefer online social interactions over face-to-face communication. Additionally, the author provides examples of how excessive social media use is linked to less family interaction and increased childhood obesity rates. The author's purpose is to raise awareness of the downsides of social media addiction and encourage more genuine human contact and communication without technology.
The document summarizes the Twitter accounts of four educators that the author followed and how they provide educational benefits. The first account, @CI350class, shared articles on education that informed the author's teaching. The second, @WISEinWV, focused on sex education and helped the author become more understanding of LGBT students. The third, @shannoninottawa, let parents see what was happening at school each day. The fourth, @d_martin05, showed how Twitter can promote other content like blog posts. Following these accounts exposed the author to new ways of using social media in the classroom.
This document discusses strategies for using social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, for journalism and public relations purposes. It provides tips for engaging audiences, developing an online presence, and utilizing social networks to find sources and share news stories. Guidelines are offered for best practices in social media engagement, including how often to post, using hashtags and retweets, and cleaning up any public relations mistakes. The importance of listening to audiences and analyzing web traffic for optimization is also covered.
This presentation explains some of the basics of Social Networking sites like Face book, as well as microblogging tools like Twitter. It includes some cartoons and assignment ideas.
[r]evolution: Educating Social Media - Workshop SlidesNathanielCarlson2
This document discusses considerations for teaching social media use. It begins by noting that while digital literacy focuses on skills, most people use social media for social reasons. It then provides statistics on widespread social media use. The document discusses how social media has become integral to daily life and both positive and negative impacts. It emphasizes the importance of understanding why we engage with social media and consequences of choices. The document then summarizes research on why older adults both do and do not use Facebook, focusing on themes like privacy concerns, quality of interaction, and exclusion. It introduces the concept of "value alignment" to help negotiate rules of engagement. Finally, it discusses teaching social media norms to reduce uncertainty for students.
The document presents Kimberly Cardinal's theory of convenience, which argues that people are increasingly sharing details about their personal lives online rather than communicating via phone or letters due to convenience. As technology allows people more control over their schedules, social media images have become normalized in society. People are thus more inclined to post about their daily lives online to keep friends and family updated in a time-efficient way, which can reinforce individualism if overused. The theory is classified as interpretive as it aims to understand this phenomenon of increased online self-sharing rather than scientifically explain or predict human behavior.

Teenagers frequently use social media sites like Facebook and MySpace as their new "hangout" space to socialize with friends. These sites have become integrated into teen friendships and are used to represent social status and explore shared interests outside of school. While social media allows for bonding over shared interests, it can also be a place where social drama, issues of status, and negative interactions between friends occur online.
Communicating with Students: What Technologies Should You Use?David Compton
The document discusses communication technologies that should be used to reach students, particularly prospective college students aged 16-20. It analyzes print media, email, and digital/social media. While print was traditionally important, reading has declined significantly as students spend more time online. Email is widely used but has drawbacks like requiring prompt responses and potential for miscommunication. Digital media like social networks have become highly popular ways for students to get information, but content must be engaging to stand out. The best approach is a cross-platform strategy using multiple technologies.
Social media allows people to connect in many positive ways but also enables some negative behaviors. It can help families stay in touch across long distances, raise awareness for charitable causes, and provide low-cost advertising for businesses. However, some use social media to catfish, cyberbully, scam, or phish others out of personal information. Too much social media use can also compromise privacy and weaken real social interactions. While problems exist, the author believes teaching safe and responsible use can help social media reach its full positive potential.

A Study on Gender Differential Factors in Uses of Social Networking Sitesinventionjournals
This document summarizes a study that explored gender differences in the uses of social networking sites (SNSs) among young adults in Bangalore, India. The study surveyed 120 males and females aged 20-35 to identify the most popular SNSs used and how usage differs by gender. It found that both males and females most frequently used Facebook, but males tended to use SNSs more for networking, dating, chatting, and promoting brands/actors, while females used SNSs more for maintaining connections, sharing knowledge, updating locations, and looking for jobs. The study provides insight into how marketing professionals can target digital campaigns based on these gender differences in SNS usage.
A presentation on the relationship between social networking sites and friendships based on a chapter from the book, "Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out,"
- Youth spend significant time on social media, with the most popular platforms being YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. While Facebook use is declining among teens, it remains popular for staying connected with family.
- Teens are increasingly using their smartphones to access social media and connect with friends, sharing photos and updates. However, they also face risks like inappropriate content, privacy issues, and cyberbullying.
- Parents and youth leaders need to discuss safe social media use with teens and monitor their online activities and friend networks. Overall though, social media enhances teen communication and social development when used appropriately.
This document discusses teenagers' use of social networking and whether it can become addictive. It provides pros and cons of social networking use and interviews two people - Ms. Tiffany Min and Mr. Bum - on their perspectives on social networking. The interviews discuss how social networking can be positively used but also how privacy issues and cyberbullying are concerns. The document also includes statistics on Facebook's dominance over other social networking platforms in terms of user profiles in the US. Overall, the document explores both benefits and risks of teenagers' social networking use.
Teaching and Learning in a Post-Truth Wor.docxerlindaw
Teaching
and Learning in a
Post-Truth
World
It’s time for schools to upgrade and
reinvest in media literacy lessons.
Renee Hobbs
I
n the summer of 2016, I found a startling
announcement in my Facebook feed from
WTOE 5 News, saying, “Pope Francis Shocks
World, Endorses Donald Trump for President,
Issues Statement.”
It looked so real that I was tempted to share it
with my friends. But before I did that, I did some
research to confirm the statement, and that’s
how I learned that WTOE 5 was not a real
news outlet. Pope Francis did not endorse
any American presidential candidate.

But in those heated days before the 2016 election, nearly one
million people did share that particular story, making it one of
the top so-called “fake news” stories of 2016 (Ritchie, 2016). And
of course, there were hundreds of other examples of false and
misleading information circulating online as the fake news phe-
nomenon spread like wildfire, not just here in the United States,
but in Germany, Italy, and around the world.
Since then, there’s been a lot of talk among educators about the
importance of teaching students to critically analyze news and
information. The public is gaining awareness of our vulnerability
to media manipulation. Researchers have found that most adults
can’t accurately judge the truth or falsity of an online news story
because they assume that content that aligns with their existing
beliefs is automatically true (Goodfellow, 2017).
So-called “fake news” is rising in visibility and influence due
to the attention economy, a concept first developed by Herbert
A. Simon in 1971. Many choices are available to us as both con-
sumers and creators of media, and, sadly, it seems as if people
have adopted a problematic post-truth attitude: If it’s entertaining
or meshes with their own views, who really cares if it’s true? This
makes it easy for creators of “fake news” in a world where digital
content is cheap to produce. These sites use sensationalism (sex,
violence, children, animals, and the mysterious unknown) to
profit from viral sharing, where more clicks equals more revenue.
And when articles include emotionally inflamed or intense words
or images, they spread quickly and reach a larger audience.
Not only are we seeing more emotionally manipulative online
content, but it is also more challenging to find and validate the
source of the information we consume. Because most Americans
get their news from social media, we experience content as
unbundled snippets, without source information or context
clues to assist in interpretation. These are all good reasons to
implement media literacy education in middle and high schools.
New evidence reported in the American Educational Research
Journal by Joseph Kahne and his colleagues shows that teens
and young adults who have had some exposure to media lit-.
The document summarizes research on the emotional experiences and meanings associated with posting photos of people on Instagram. It finds that the most common reason for posting photos is to remember positive experiences shared with others. Participants felt posting photos helped them feel connected to absent friends and family. They also enjoyed curating an ideal self-presentation and appearing trendy to other Instagram users. However, the study had limitations due to its small sample size. Overall, the research suggested Instagram allows users to maintain relationships and share memories through curated photos.
The document discusses whether teenagers are addicted to social networking. It defines social networking as websites used to communicate and interact with others. Some key points made are:
- Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Google are more popular among teenagers than adults.
- Benefits include connecting with others and sharing memories, while risks involve lack of privacy, cyberbullying, and spreading of false information.
- Interviews suggest social networking can be used positively for academics but also cause suicide due to cyberbullying, and that its popularity stems from following trends.

This document discusses social networking usage among teenagers and whether it can lead to addiction. It provides pros and cons of social networking, including interviews with a teacher and student about positive and negative impacts. Key social networking sites mentioned are Facebook, Twitter, and Google. The top concerns discussed are lack of privacy, spreading of false information, and cyberbullying on social media platforms.
Shifting to Specifications Grading: Two Design CasesVanessa Dennen
This document discusses specifications grading through two design cases - an undergraduate and graduate course. It describes what specifications grading is, how assignments are graded pass/fail against competencies, and how students are given tokens to revise work. For the undergraduate course, examples of skills checks, blog posts, and a PowerPoint assignment are provided, along with the token system. The graduate course overview outlines weekly discussions, papers, and a research bibliography assignment, along with its token system. Lessons learned focused on increased student confidence and engagement through clear expectations and more feedback than determining grades.
Distance Teaching and Learning in a Time of CrisisVanessa Dennen
This document discusses distance teaching and learning during the COVID-19 crisis. It outlines three phases of disaster response: response, recovery, and a new normal. In the response phase, educators are dealing with short-term changes like moving classes online. Many questions remain about the recovery phase. The document provides advice for remote teaching including prioritizing people over content and technology. It also notes challenges like reluctant online students and the fluid nature of the crisis. Research considerations are discussed, emphasizing evaluation and case studies that are situated within the disaster response phases. The document concludes by questioning what the new normal post-COVID-19 will look like and how educators can better prepare for future crises.

Overall, students enjoyed blogs and Twitter the most and intended to use them in the future as ways to communicate and share resources. Perceptions of Diigo were mixed, though some saw benefits for personal use.

This document summarizes research on how high school students and teachers use mobile phones and social media to support learning. Interviews and observations were conducted to understand common activities and how they relate to learning theories. Most classroom mobile use aligned with behaviorist and cognitivist theories, through activities like multiple choice quizzes and information access. Social media was more commonly used outside class for collaboration. The research found tensions between classroom rules and social networks, maintaining appropriate teacher-student relationships, and integrating technology while addressing bandwidth issues. Overall mobile and social media use in classrooms has shaped students' perceptions of how these tools can enhance learning.
Using Social Media to Support Active Learning Processes: The Networked Knowle...Vanessa Dennen
This document discusses using social media to support active learning through networked knowledge activities. It introduces the Networked Knowledge Activity Framework, which includes six types of activities - collect, curate, share, broker, negotiate, and create - that involve interacting with and producing knowledge objects. Examples are provided for each type of activity. The framework is intended to help instructors think beyond the classroom and promote student interaction, production and engagement with content and other learners through social media platforms. When implemented effectively, these networked knowledge activities can support active learning outcomes.

Social media knowledge activities: Opportunities for learning across formal a...Vanessa Dennen
This document discusses opportunities for learning across formal and informal settings using social media. It begins by noting that while social media plus learning does not necessarily equal meaningful engagement, it could if used purposefully. The author then discusses findings from their research on student perspectives and needs regarding social media use. Key points from cited literature on social media and education are presented. The remainder of the document focuses on strategies and tools for implementing meaningful networked knowledge activities using social media that are grounded in educational theory and address student needs.
Social Networking Sites, Teen Identity, and High Schools: Unregulated Social ...Vanessa Dennen
This document summarizes research on how teens use social media and how it impacts their identity and experiences in high school. The researchers surveyed and observed 48 high school students to understand how they navigate different social networks for varied purposes like self-expression, privacy, and learning. They found that teens curate their online identities carefully across platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter. While social media allows access to school information and peer connections, not using it can lead to isolation. The researchers conclude that teens are becoming adept at interacting online, and teachers could provide guidance to help support this development.
Effective Tagging Practices for Online Learning Environments: Dictionary or F...Vanessa Dennen
This document summarizes a study that compared the effectiveness of three different approaches to tagging online resources: freestyle tagging, dictionary-based tagging, and a combined freestyle and dictionary approach. 78 undergraduate students tagged resources using Diigo over five weeks under one of the three conditions. The findings showed that dictionary-only tagging reduced redundancy and synonyms the most, while freestyle tagging resulted in the most single-use and irrelevant tags. The combined approach was most effective by allowing students to both use predefined tags and add their own. The implications are that students need guidance to learn effective tagging and that dictionaries can help structure the activity while allowing flexibility.
Discussion Practices in Online Courses: An Online Survey of InstructorsVanessa Dennen
Discovery Session at OLC '17 (Vanessa Dennen, Tami Im)
This presentation just covers a small portion of the data from our survey. Contact the authors for additional information.
The document provides advice for the successful use of social media in education. It recommends starting with the learning activity rather than the tool, and identifying tacit learning objectives to consider student comfort levels. Educators should share ownership by discussing authorship and intellectual property with students. Tracking social media activity can provide insights into knowledge sharing. The overall message is to thoughtfully integrate social media to enhance learning rather than replicate existing systems.
Religious Narratives and Networked Learning Spaces: Using Blogs to Connect In...Vanessa Dennen
This document summarizes a study on using blogs to connect students personally to course material on the history of religion. Researchers had students in a university history of religion course blog twice weekly about readings and personal reflections. Analysis found blogging encouraged deeper engagement with readings and provided an outlet for personal perspectives. While some found it time-consuming, most students enjoyed the format and it correlated with better exam performance. The semi-private nature of the blogs created a safe space for discussion of potentially sensitive personal views and histories.
Using Diigo to Engage Learners in Course ReadingsVanessa Dennen
This document discusses using the social bookmarking tool Diigo to engage students in annotating course readings. Researchers evaluated student perceptions and use of Diigo in an educational technology course. Students initially found Diigo confusing or were curious about it. After using it, most students had a favorable view, finding it easy to use and potentially useful. However, some remained unclear on the learning objectives of annotating readings collaboratively online versus just bookmarking individually. For future iterations, researchers recommend more clearly articulating objectives and providing models of effective use.
Ethics and Social Media Research: Examining Private Lives on a Public StageVanessa Dennen
Dr. Vanessa Dennen discussed key ethical issues in conducting social media research. She explained how concepts like privacy exist on a continuum and are influenced by audience and intent. Researchers must consider whether participants see them as part of the intended audience and if they would feel at risk with a larger audience. The biggest concerns should be avoiding harm to participants and gaining proper consent rather than just IRB approval. Mitigation strategies like using pseudonyms, checking quotes, and reporting aggregate findings can help reduce risks. Researchers have a responsibility to respect participants' privacy, educate them and the IRB, and uphold high ethical standards.
How an online community promotes graduate students' professional developmentVanessa Dennen
Graduate students engage with the "GradSchool" subreddit for both social-emotional and professional reasons. Socially, it helps alleviate stress and loneliness by connecting students with similar challenges. Professionally, it provides just-in-time advice on issues like time management, relationships, careers and mental health. Students are more likely to read posts and comment than initiate their own posts. Engagement supports professional development by enhancing knowledge of funding and careers, implementing strategies, and potentially finding future collaborators.
Designing digital badges for a college courseVanessa Dennen
The document describes the design and implementation of six types of digital badges in an undergraduate educational technology course. The badges were created to motivate students to complete assignments thoroughly and on time, engage in class discussions, and participate in independent learning activities. A survey found that while some students felt badges were meaningful and motivating, others viewed them as redundant or only beneficial for younger learners. The subjective badges for best performance and excellence had the most positive responses. Overall, badges may only motivate 30-40% of learners, while many feel ambivalent toward them.
Using electronic diaries for data collection: An online learning case studyVanessa Dennen
Vanessa Dennen presented research on using electronic diaries to collect data on online learner habits. She investigated how students approach completing diaries and whether diaries accurately represent course activities. Students in an online class were asked to complete diaries tracking their activities twice during the term. Analysis found that diaries had high completion rates and matched course data. While diaries may miss some perspectives, the research showed students can reliably self-report online learning behaviors through electronic diaries.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Methods
Multiple Instagram accounts are a common
phenomenon among teenage users. Typically, one
Instagram account is associated with the teen’s
given name, and is either public or at least broadly
and relatively freely networked with other
Instagram users. Teenagers who have a second
account often refer to it as a “finsta” or Fake
Instagram account (Urban Dictionary, n.d.). These
accounts have more restricted network
connections than real name ones, and rely on
pseudonyms as usernames (Homayoun, 2017). In
recent studies, finsta accounts were alternately
noted as spaces for ranting and being authentic
(Weinstein, 2018) or for pushing humor and other
boundaries (Kang & Wei, 2019).
The objective of this study is to explore why
teens do or do not choose to have a finsta
account and, in the case of teens who maintain
multiple accounts, explore which elements of
themselves are reflected in each account.
This poster draws on a data set from a larger
ethnographic study of social media use among
teenagers. Data were collected from
observations of teenagers interacting and
discussing social media use and interviews with
teenagers about their social media use.
• The term “spam” was used more frequently than finsta.
• All students were familiar with the concept and some followed finsta
accounts.
• Teens with spam accounts echoed earlier studies: they used the
accounts to share funny things they see, things they like, and how they
are feeling with their friends. They considered these images to be of
momentary interest, but superfluous or “spam” (i.e., neither of interest
to a larger audience nor to be shared broadly) in the context of their
regular identities.
• Spam accounts were used for frequent posting of a temporally-
sensitive and/or idiosyncratic nature.
• Teens wanted their main accounts to be positive spaces, and to
feature themselves looking good. One teenager described their real
account as their “more mature account.”
• Two students succinctly summed up the most popular reasons for not
having spam accounts, stating “(Spam account users) just post, like,
random pictures and stuff. I don't really see the point of it” and “Who has
time for that?”
• Students also maintained Snapchat accounts, relying on the
ephemerality of Snapchat to serve a function similar to spam accounts.
Future Work
Data analysis on this project continues, and next steps in data collection include revisiting the school
system to investigate use among middle school students.
