The effect of educational networking on students’ performance in biologyIJITE
The purpose of present study is to investigate the impacts of incorporating Edmodo as educational network,
into a classroom setting on the academic achievement of Biology students based on three types of
conceptual level comprises of direct, simple, and complex concept. Researcher intended to seek for the
reason of improvement in their achievement test for all the three types of conceptual level. A total of 140
Biology students was selected from three secondary schools which were chosen using convenient random
sampling to participate in this study and were divided randomly into two groups. A mixed methods design
which involved pretest-and post-test was obtained as quantitative data and follow-up with in-depth
interview was obtained as qualitative data. Mann–Whitney U tests were used to analyze students’ gain
scores. The results indicated that students that were instructed by the instruction with intervention
performed a larger on the gain scores of all the three cognitive levels; than those instructed by the
conventional approaches. Five themes of reason for the difference on gain score between control group
and experimental group were found from interview data which encompass self-paced learning, boredom,
complex conceptual understanding, interesting and motivation, extra information and; communication and
interactivity. This educational network will permeate all facets of the curriculum as a new paradigm of
teaching tools.
Social media as it relates to students with disabilities in post secondary ed...Joseph Doan
Social media usage is pervasive throughout almost every age group from pre-teen to senior citizens. As social media becomes a more ubiquitous part of everyday life, educators are discovering innovative ways to incorporate its use, and students have benefited from it. This presentation discusses how post-secondary education students with disabilities can also participate in and benefit from using social media tools and services like blogs, wikis, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Second Life.
This is about the challenges faced by teacher in the scenario of onslaught by digital environment. One needs to tackle it by being sensitive to the needs of the hour and also by properly embracing the technology.

Social Media and Education
Class Objectives
• To provide an overview of the use of social media in educational institutions
• To explore how social media is used to advance education
Introduction
The internet has opened up spaces for individuals from different parts of the world,
generations, class, gender and race to gain access to higher education. These forms
of “borderless” learning platforms allow professors to facilitate linear interactions
with students as students take charge of their learning by posing questions and
posting content virtually. The popularity of online courses is demonstrated by a
study conducted by the learningSloan Foundation study consisting of more than
2,500 colleges and universities. The study findings indicated that online enrolments
were growing substantially faster than overall higher education enrolment, and the
17% growth rate in online enrolments far exceeds the 1.2% growth rate in the
overall higher education population (Allen & Seaman, 2010, cited in LeNoue, Hall,
Eighmy, 2011, pp. 4-5). Allen and Seaman classified an online course as one in which
more than 80% of content is delivered online and reported that over 4.6 million
students were taking such courses during the fall 2008 term (p.5). Clearly, online
courses are becoming a preferred means of learning mainly because of their
convenience—students are able to navigate, full time employment, family
responsibilities and other commitments. Many online instructional settings utilize
content management systems that allow for a two way communication between
students and the professor. The forums deviate from lecture structures and
professors in the online context as seen as facilitators of knowledge encouraging
active and experiential learning and teamwork to enhance cooperation and
collaboration. Would you categorize the online classes provided by UCW as a social
media forum?
Beyond online classrooms, universities use social media mainly for marketing,
communication and alumni relations. Universities now combine the use of social
media with their own homepages as a recruitment tools (For example, last year
UCW’s homepage provided access to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube). Universities
are also using social media to reach out to their alumni. A 2012 survey by the
Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (an association of university
and college professionals in development, alumni affairs and communications)
shows that 83 percent of U.S. colleges and universities are using social media to
engage alumni, with 96 percent on Facebook, 80 percent on Twitter, 73 percent on
YouTube, and 68 percent on LinkedIn (Frank, 2013). These statistics give an
illustration of how social media are used for communication between universities
and the public.
