While faculty and staff at higher education institutions have experimented with the use of social media, there has not been a concerted effort to integrate these technologies in educationally-relevant ways. Emerging research in the field of social media, student engagement, and success shows that there are specific ways that these technologies can be used to improve educational outcomes. This presentation will focus on reviewing and translating research on the effects of Twitter on college students into effective and engaging educational practices. Background research on the psychological construct of engagement will be provided and will be linked to engagement in online social spaces. In addition to presenting cutting-edge research on how to create engaging and engaged communities, the presenter will review specific ways that Twitter can be used in the classroom and the co-curriculum. The presenter will discuss how academicians can hack existing technologies, specifically Twitter, for educational good and will present the results of his latest research on the effects of Twitter on student engagement and grades.

The Facebook has become an essential part of almost every university students’ daily life, and while a large
number of students seem to get benefits from use of the Facebook by exchanging information for educational
goals, make friends, and other activities, the literature indicates that this social networking site can become
addictive to some university students’ users, which is one of the today’s higher education matters. The aim of this
study, therefore, is to explore the phenomenon of Facebook addiction among university students. Qualitative
study using interview is used to gather data from nine International postgraduates of Universiti Putra Malaysia
and the data established three themes (Compulsion to check Facebook, High frequency use, and Using Facebook
to avoid offline responsibility) relied on the participants interviews. The findings from these three themes
showed that these users considered their Facebook dependency, are known as salience, tolerance, and conflict.
These results also lead to the conclusion that like most activities, moderation and controlled use are key. So, the
best approach to preparing students for life in a knowledge-based society is to help them exercise self-control
and achieve a level of balance when using Facebook. It is believed that the findings of this study would help
other Facebook researchers by contributing to the limited academic literature in this area.

Exploring the Online Information-seeking Strategies of Education Graduate Stu...Wil Weston
This paper is the result of a recent exploratory study completed in November 2013, which examines how education graduate students at San Diego State University (SDSU) seek information online. Understanding this group’s online research and information-seeking strategies are critical when one considers that these future graduates will be occupying leadership positions in education and determining educational policy. How they evaluate information resources will impact policy and determine the importance they place on specific informational resources. Discovering the strategies utilized by these graduate students in their information seeking behavior will provide insight into the use of online resources and broader information seeking-strategies.

I am sharing this presentation with the belief that teachers like I would understand the importance of classroom management for an effective and efficient learning. God bless you!
Teaching is a very important job and once you get your classroom management skills in order you will be enjoying teaching more and will have a more productive teaching career.
The most important element of classroom management is allowing your students an opportunity to understand that your rules are a part of giving them the best education possible.

Internet researchers often rely on traditional survey methods to collect data about technology usage and its correlates. However, developing a survey that yields usable data is not as simple as it seems. This session will review survey design methods in order to obtain “bulletproof” findings. Topics will include question selection, writing good questions, survey length, sampling techniques, branching, coding data, and more.
Facebook and Student Engagement Presentation Oxford Internet Institute SDP 2015Rey Junco
Student engagement is the time and effort that students invest in academic and co-curricular activities. Engagement has been shown to be related to a host of important psychosocial and academic outcomes. This session will lead participants in thinking about how students use Facebook for both academic and social integration and how indices of Facebook use can be evaluated to predict student engagement in offline contexts.

Translating social media research into academically relevant practices.
Today’s college students use social media (i.e., Facebook, Myspace, Twitter), cell phones, blogs, and instant messaging at higher rates than people from other generations. In higher education, faculty members generally lag behind students in their use of technology. While some faculty members embrace it, most have negative views of newer technologies, believing that technology use hurts students academically and socially. Nevertheless, research demonstrates that students generally utilize newer technologies in ways that are beneficial to them. For instance, recent research has shown that students who use Facebook at high rates have more positive educational outcomes. Additionally, the use of blogs, cell phones, and instant messaging have all been shown to promote student academic and psychosocial development.
This presentation reviews recent research on how college students use technologies such as social media, cell phones, blogs, and instant messaging. Additionally, these slides highlight the latest research on student attitudes about social media, statistics on their use, differences in use based on gender, ethnicity, and social class (the digital divide), positive academic and social effects of technology use, and research-based strategies to help faculty members integrate technology into their courses in order to support student academic development.
You can use Facebook for that? Research-supported strategies to engage your s...Rey Junco
Recent research has focused on using emerging technologies to help increase college student engagement. Engagement has been found to be related to student persistence and GPA. Student affairs professionals have the opportunity to enhance student engagement and learning by using Facebook. The program presenters are planning a multi-institution study on using Facebook and Twitter to enhance student engagement. The presenters will review their ongoing research on using Facebook to improve student engagement in order to produce improved educational outcomes and will provide specific examples of how you can use Facebook in the same way.

45. How does Dr. Farmer continue his work without
feeling overwhelmed? It is hard enough with college
courses we are taking. Stress management?
The compassion that Farmer shows when he is
traveling across seas to help others is something I
would like to match here. Helping ppl = good.
Farmer
Paul Farmers actions can be taken as a learning
tool for us to help our own nation. Why it hasn't
happened sooner, i don't know.
If what dr. Farmer is doing is a band aid, I really
feel like crap by doing what I can do for my
community. Critics are jealous I say.

Shouldn't we stay local to help others?
Others
Is there a basic human debt to others?
Is it enough to serve others in research or in
practice, or must one do service-work
Satisfaction is something u must find on ur own
& not compare to others.

59. The news is influencing how we think
critically about it. think about it.
There was a good point made: you want
straight news? research it yourself-ask
questions for YOU.
News
I think some students find it difficult to
separate news from commentary - what do
you think?
Whats more important... Jersey shore or
channel 8 news?
Everything is news, but not everything is
newsworthy. Celebrity deaths and love
affairs are the gossip of society.

My research interests in this area began when I started teaching in 2000 and I shared my AOL IM screen name with students as part of my contact information on my syllabus. I realized that when the more introverted students would ask me questions via IM, they later became much more engaged in the class. It seemed as if IMing me to “test the waters” helped them gain more confidence to participate and engage in the class discussions. \n\nWhen I talk about engagement in this context, I am talking about student academic engagement-- involvement and participation in academic activities including class discussions, research with faculty members, readings, etc. and I am also talking about extracurricular engagement-- being involved in activities, groups, and clubs.\n\nPascarella & Terenzini :\n\n1. There is consistent evidence that in college environments that emphasize close relationships and frequent interactions between faculty and students as well as faculty concern about student growth and development, critical thinking, analytic competencies, and general intellectual development thrive. These environments also facilitated knowledge acquisition. \n\n2. Close on-campus friendships, engagement in college-sponsored activities, and the student perception that colleges are concerned about them as individuals maximize persistence and educational attainment. Environments that emphasize involvement in class discussions and involvement with faculty in academic community maximize overall psychosocial adjustment and maturity. \n\n3. Student perceptions that faculty members care about them as well as faculty accessibility to students promote persistence and degree completion. Availability, helpfulness, and rapport with students correlated significantly with student mastery of course content.\n\n4. Consistent correlations between the use of computers for academic coursework and critical thinking and general reasoning skills.\n\n5. Extracurricular involvement positive effect on persistence and educational attainment, women’s choice of nontraditional careers, and development of a positive social self-concept. \n\n6. Strongest evidence regarding academic experience was that controlling for extraneous variables, student engagement in academic work and in the academic experience of college the greater her or his level of knowledge acquisition and cognitive growth. \n\n7. Interaction with peers is most pervasive and powerful force in student persistence and degree completion. \n

Cronbach&#x2019;s &#x3B1; = .80\nSo the idea was to measure traditional forms of student engagement (inside and outside of the classroom) because there is a great deal of research showing\nthe positive effects of engagement on retention. This way, if we find an effect, we can show that online engagement leads to real world engagement and therefore\nshould have a connection with retention.\n\n
\n
\n
\n
Listed in order of strength of prediction\nI also think that one of the reasons that HERI and Heiberger found relationships like they did (beyond the measurement issue) was that during those times, Facebook had not been adopted by such a significant proportion of students; therefore, those students who were more engaged were more likely to be on FB to begin with and the activities they conducted on FB were, more than likely, more engaging activities. \n

COMM 110 seeks to introduce students to the important role of the mass media in developing conceptions of democracy and democratic participation in contemporary societies. Utilizing current events, popular culture and the students' own relationship to media as the template, this course is designed to stimulate student thinking about the interrelationship between the dynamics of US culture, news, politics, and civil society in order to develop a greater understanding and appreciation of what civic engagement and global awareness can do towards nurturing democracy's principles and practices.\n\n
