Introduction to Social Media in EducationJason Rhode
Do you use Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube? Have you ever considered leveraging social media tools like these in your teaching? During this introductory online session led by Jason Rhode on 9/28/2012, we explored what social media are and the pedagogical potential for use of social media in educational settings. We set the stage for future sessions to further explore use of social media tools and the design of engaging and innovative learning activities.
Using social media to support learning in higher educationSue Beckingham
My keynote presentation considers how social media and digital technologies can be utilised effectively to enhance both informal and formal learning. Drawing upon the 5C Framework (Nerantzi and Beckingham 2014) I will share examples of how social media is used to connect, communicate, curate, collaborate and create; and through a student-staff partnership called ‘SMASH’ (Social Media for Academic Studies at Hallam) how with my students we have explored how social media can be used for ‘learning activities’ within and beyond the classroom, to ‘organise learning’ using relevant social media tools to curate and organise information, and the importance of ‘showcasing learning’ to enable students to openly share outcomes and projects.
Using social media as academics for learning, teaching and researchSue Beckingham

Networking in the digital age has changed the traditional rules. Figuring how people like to be connected and learning non-traditional networking on social media to keep up has become required back of life. Here are just a few tips and ideas around this topic.
Michigan’s top economic leaders today issued a series of findings that forecast the state’s readiness to fill high-paying, high-demand jobs with educated and skilled workers.
And, while data show the state is generally prepared to meet the demand for high-wage jobs over the next three years, the ability to meet demand over the long-term is less certain.

Social Tsunami: Riding the Wave for Student Engagement and Success - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Beverly Amer, Northern Arizona University
More than 66% of higher education faculty don't teach the use of social media in their discipline. Yet nearly 100% use it outside the classroom for personal and professional reasons. The wave of social media use in society is now rapidly rushing onto mobile platforms, leaving many faculty - and their courses - treading water. With our students already regularly surfing on their mobile devices, the time is right for exploring how to turn the tide of social media into tools for student engagement and success. Interested in learning more? Then paddle your board to this session for ideas from this presenter's sabbatical research for successfully navigating the social storm and staying on top of the wave! Goals/outcomes: Attendees will learn about the various forms of social media, current research surrounding effective use of social media in higher education, and explore practical and meaningful approaches for incorporating social media - in all its forms - into their courses to help increase student engagement and success.
This presentation is part of language Communication for Educator (TCDE 523) Program research.

Community College Online Class Size Optimization: Current Research and FindingsJoshua Murdock
With the increasing demands for online classes as well as cost-cutting measures, many institutions look at raising online course caps. How might this impact learning?
In our community college, there is an increasing demand not only for online courses, but for online programs. At the same time that we are struggling with quality assurance of our online educational experiences, we battle with state funding limitations. Put these two factors together and the natural questions emerge: Could focusing efforts on offering larger online classes solve our problems? How might larger online classes impact learning? We will present preliminary findings based on existing research, interviews with staff at peer colleges, surveys of division deans, and both formal and informal discussions with online faculty and staff. Data will be drawn from multiple resources including the Instructional Technology Council, blogs about online course sizes, current literature, and social networking sites. Session Goals: After the session, each participant will be able to 1. Identify important factors that should be considered when choosing caps for online courses. 2. Locate and utilize resources to further the study of online class size optimization.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

• The Millennial Generation has emerged as a force that will shape the
social and economic dynamics of the next decade (Howe & Strauss, 2000).
• The definition of when millennials were born varies, with estimates
ranging from 1977 (Tapscott, 1998) to 1982 (Howe & Strauss, 2000).
• Researchers agree that the uniqueness of millennials results from
technological forces that have affected this generation.
• Unique millennial competency is the ability to effectively use broadly
networked digital communication technologies to quickly and seamlessly
accomplish a variety of tasks (Gorman, Nelson, & Glassman, 2004).

factors.
• Public (everyone in the world) vs. private (restricted access) accessibility of content
• Social media privacy policies for tool being used
• Usability, both for students and faculty
• Faculty's control over content
• Academic record retention (How will you keep a record of the content created?)
• Technical skills required for the tool
• Support available for tool
• Information required for registering or sign-up to utilize the tool
• Tracking and verifying social media application usernames vs. students' real names
• Guidelines and code of conduct requirements
• Value-added vs. using a tool because it's cool

34. Joel Berman – Twitter and YouTube Class Example: I have been using Twitter to collect data on
exercises that were confusing in class or those that students simply want another example to refer
I then record examples of the top questions/concerns and upload them to YouTube. One of the
related links (in response to the requests for long division) is: http://youtu.be/Y3yXVnmKuAE
Amanda Kern: During the fall 2011 and spring 2012 semesters web design faculty teaching the GRA
2141C web page design course worked toward creating more awareness of social media throughou
the semester. The hopes were to help students increase their awareness and see the professional
benefits of social media. The following activities were implemented each semester to help increas
awareness of social media’s professional benefits.
One of the examples is by Brian Croxall (@briancroxall ) who is using Twitter in his ENG 456 Readin
Technology course to engage his student with social media in an age of new media. This is a month
long Twitter-related assignment after he has already spent time with students discussing media
systems. After gaining foundation requirements, the students are to follow the class account
“Croxall” and other members of the class, posting at least once a day for a month and using the
course hashtag #eng465. Croxall focused on having students play with Twitter and see if it changes
the culture or society of the class in any appreciable way.
The final assignment is for students to write up an evaluation of the assignment and what Twitter
teaches about community and media. This assignment would be a low-stake, low-entry form of so
media to implement into a course for the first time.
