Online support services for millennial undergraduates
This document summarizes research on college students' use of technology and their needs for online student support services. A 2007 survey of over 7,700 college students found that almost all owned computers and cell phones, the majority used instant messaging and social media sites, and nearly half downloaded music. The document also reports that students perceive a greater need for online student support services, like academic advising, than what is currently available. It recommends that colleges prioritize offering online advising and counseling to better serve the needs of students studying online.

This document discusses social media and how it has changed communication for students and higher education professionals. It notes that while some educators have embraced social media to engage students, others struggle to adapt to students who are constantly connected digitally. To best engage and develop students, the document argues that understanding students' social media preferences is key. It provides an overview of popular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube and how students currently use them to communicate and expect to connect with their campus.
Developing Social Media Guidelines
This document outlines topics for discussion at a tech forum on developing guidelines around student social media use and devices in schools. The panel will discuss the importance of social media for learning, the need for organizational social media and teacher use guidelines, whether to post students' names and work online, allowing student devices, gaining buy-in for technology changes, engaging students on social media, and balancing innovation with consistency for educators. The goal is to provide guidance on these issues to various education stakeholders.
Are "Digital Natives" Dropping Print Newspapers?
Simply because young adults are less likely to read a print newspaper compared with other age groups, many news professionals assume young people have lost interest in reading print newspapers. Although previous research has documented that most readers found the print newspaper to be more useful, satisfying, likeable, and enjoyable than its online counterpart, many within and outside the industry believe young people are an exception, and the way to retain young readers is to pursue them online. However, because no viable business models for online news seem to exist, it is important to re-visit some of the assumptions about young readers' attitudes toward online and print media.
College newspapers provide a unique opportunity to test such assumptions because most college newspapers publish in both online and print formats, and both formats are offered for free. Additionally, their readers are college students ages 18-22 (the so-called "digital natives"), all with Internet access. A survey of 198 U.S. college newspaper advisers was conducted in 2011. The findings suggest that the print edition outperforms the Web edition in terms of readership and preference. The print edition generated the vast majority of advertising revenue. Print circulation in most cases has remained stable. And most college newspaper advisers do not believe an online-only model is feasible within the next five years. These results carry important implications for commercial newspapers as they envision the future of their industry.

This document is a research project by Blanca Gonzalez exploring whether smartphones have a negative impact on teenage social development and behavior. It summarizes the history of smartphones from 2007 to 2009. It then discusses opinions on both sides of the issue - negative opinions that smartphones can be addictive and harm social skills, and positive opinions that they provide easy access to information and ebooks. Finally, it discusses indecisive opinions that see both benefits and downsides, such as distraction in school but also access to information. The bibliography cites sources discussing smartphone addiction symptoms and educators' concerns about student behavior and performance.
Smartphones in Education
This document discusses the use of smartphones in education. It defines a smartphone as a mobile phone with advanced computing capabilities and connectivity beyond a basic phone. Smartphones are growing in demand due to powerful processors, memory, large screens, and open operating systems. The document notes that smartphones provide students, teachers, and parents permanent access to textbooks and student marks without needing to go to school. It also enables online courses with 100% attendance. In conclusion, smartphones can be very useful for students and teachers in providing a comfortable learning environment.

The hole in the wall
Sugatra Mitra placed a single computer in an outdoor wall in New Dehli and discovered that nearby children, without any instruction, taught themselves how to use it. American youth have also shown a strong interest in computers, with millions going online daily and many being online gamers. The document argues that teachers should capitalize on students' growing fascination with technology by employing self-guided learning approaches using educational tools in the classroom.

The document summarizes a study that examined claims about differences between generations in their communication preferences and technology use. The study found little evidence that students born after 1992 ("Net Gen" learners) have fundamentally different preferences compared to older students. While students use technologies like email and texting, their use does not appear to be driven primarily by age or generation. Contextual factors like academic programs and requirements are more influential on communication behaviors.

The purpose of this study is to find out college students perception towards the learning platforms and their priorities with regard to online learning as well as offline learning. Rapid developments in education technology have provided many new options of learning to students and thus made this research important to determine their preferences for the same. Moreover due to covid-19, the students have fresh experience of online learning which would make the comparison more relevant. The study makes comparison of online education and traditional way of education from the point of view of Post - Graduate students from M.COM, MBA, MA (economics), M.SC, and M.TECH respectively. To know their perception and preference, online questionnaire was constructed via Google form and data was collected from 100 respondents. 10 variables based on 5 point likert scale have been used to analyze the perception. These variables include Convenience, Flexibility, Teacher – student interaction, accessibility in terms of time and cost, Freedom in learning, Doubt clarity, Learning experience, Content analysis, Adaptability and performance evaluation. This preliminary analysis of students' perception will determine whether there are statistically significant differences between online learning and offline learning, and preference for online learning technology between gender groups and between post graduate students from different educational qualifications and family income, along with investigating the reasons for their preference.

This document discusses the high cost of textbooks and the barriers it poses for students. It notes that open textbooks, which are freely accessible online under open licenses, can help increase access and affordability. Surveys find that many students delay or avoid purchasing required textbooks due to high costs, and this can negatively impact their academic performance. Open textbooks are being adopted by some universities and programs to help reduce costs. The document promotes open textbooks as a way to make higher education more accessible and affordable for students.

e learning
Mobile devices and apps can provide educational benefits if used responsibly in the classroom. They give students access to tools for subjects like math, science, languages, and more. Apps exist for studying abroad, identifying plants and insects, step-by-step problem solving, and lowering textbook costs. Teachers can also use mobile apps to take attendance and share grades with parents. However, some argue that students may become distracted, and that mobile devices are not always the best way to learn. Opinions vary on whether mobility in the classroom is useful or if it poses too many problems.

Understanding Millennials and Neo-Millennials
The Imagine America Foundation is proud to announce it is collaborating with ED MAP to present a new webinar research series designed to help career colleges better understand Millennials, Neo-Millennials and virtual high school students. This series will be presented in four progressive sessions exploring this new generation of learner, their needs and expectations, how to get their attention and how to prepare your school for these students. Each session will last an hour with at least 15 minutes devoted to a question-answer period.
Understanding Millennials & Neo-Millennials – January 15th 2009
• Who are Millennials & Neo-Millennials?
• Are Millennials who attended virtual high school different from the rest?
• What are their expectations of post-secondary education?
• How do they learn?
• Why a new approach to learning technology, course materials, faculty preparation and recruiting is required.
Will online education prevail
Online education is growing rapidly and gaining market share from traditional face-to-face education. The number of students taking at least one online course in the US increased from 1.6 million in 2002 to 6.7 million in 2012. Coursera alone has over 2 million students enrolled in its online courses. While most academic leaders see online education as critical to their long-term strategy, there is still some skepticism about its quality from a minority of leaders. The growth of online education through MOOCs and companies like Udacity is disrupting higher education, and traditional universities will need to adapt to remain viable as online options provide lower costs and greater flexibility to students.
Standards Express: A Critique of National Education Standards
This is a critique of education standards by Prof. Marion Brady. I have his permission to share his presentation of why current ways and means of standardizing education actually diminish educational achievement.
Standards Express
The document discusses several problems with standardizing educational content across all students:
1. There is too much information in the world to teach students only 0.00000001% of all knowledge, and it's impossible to determine what that small portion should be.
2. Every student is different in terms of interests, abilities, needs, and experiences, so standardizing content wastes potential and enthusiasm.
3. The future is unpredictable, so we don't know what content students will need to survive and thrive.
Standardized tests are driving curriculum instead of developing students' ability to think critically and generate new content and knowledge, which will be essential skills for the future. An alternative instructional program called "

Lifelong Learning The Key To Survival In The 21st Century Global Economy
- Lifelong learning is key to survival in the 21st century global economy as the skills and jobs of the future will require continuous learning and adaptation to new technologies.
- Today's students have grown up in a digital world and have different needs, values, and expectations from education compared to previous generations. They want autonomy, creativity, connections with others, and constant stimulation.
- There is a mismatch between the skills students are learning and the skills required for the fast-growing jobs of the future, most of which require some level of postsecondary education and technical skills. Educators must adapt to better prepare students.
What Does Higher Education Provide?
The cost of higher education and its implications have been discussed, challenged, and criticized repeatedly over the past several years. Rightfully so. As the price of attending college has increased, it has left many wondering what higher education actually provides.

The document discusses differences between "digital natives" (today's students) and "digital immigrants" (their teachers) in their use of technology. It notes that while both groups may use the same technologies, they often use them differently due to generational factors. The document provides an overview of how digital natives' communication, learning preferences, and expectations differ from previous generations. It emphasizes understanding generational differences rather than judging students and suggests strategies for educators to better meet students' needs.

The document discusses emerging trends in education including the rise of social media, the increasing pace of knowledge creation, and the need for schools to shift from standardized teaching to personalized learning. It notes that technology has increased the speed of communication and that educators must help students learn real-world problem solving using online tools and collaboration beyond the classroom.
Digital Social Networking & Health Care Education
Will learning in a socially interconnected, digital environment lead to a more personal approach toward acquiring knowledge? Will this allow our students to learn professionalism and ethics appropriately? Or will it all become a collection of online connected “National Enquirers” of sensationalism with a total lack of regard for personal privacy and standards expected from a more genteel and civilized society? Will the schools and colleges of optometry use cyber-socializing for research, student recruitment, and fund raising? It is obvious there are numerous questions. Who will do the research?
The Digital Divide and Teaching: How Do Our Students Really Use Technology?
This document discusses how students use technology compared to instructors. It begins by asking students and instructors to reflect on how they commonly use technology in similar or different ways. It then discusses the concepts of "digital natives" and "digital immigrants" to describe students who grew up with technology versus those who adopted it later. However, it notes this distinction is more complex than a simple age-based divide. Student focus groups reveal they commonly use social media and the internet for keeping in touch with others, getting news and entertainment. The document concludes by highlighting key principles for integrating technology in teaching, such as having a clear goal, explaining the purpose of technological tools, allowing time for students to learn new technologies, and not underestim

Keepingup tech'dout
This document discusses the need for schools and teachers to adapt to changing technologies and learning styles in the 21st century. It notes that current school models are becoming outdated and risk making schools irrelevant. It highlights trends like social learning, knowledge creation, mobile devices, and open content that require schools to shift from an emphasis on teaching to co-learning. The document argues that teachers must become "lead learners" and develop personal learning networks in order to best prepare students.

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.

- 3. Problem 1: students can’t get visas The current immigration climate to the United States is challenging, generally speaking, and the bulk of the demand to study in the U.S. comes from regions of the world (Middle East, China) that are currently considered problematic meaning (1) highly competitive process and (2) schools are making available fewer Visas.
- 4. Problem 2: students ghosting once here There is a growing problem with students “ghosting” once they arrive on campus due to numerous reasons, primarily being (1) misinformation on where they were going and what they would be studying and (2) lack of connection to their culture and/or other students “like them”
