Technology in our family
Social Media use in education

Networked Participatory Scholarship
The emergent practice of scholars’ use of participatory
technologies and online social networks to share,
reflect upon, critique, improve, validate, and further
their scholarship (Veletsianos & Kimmons, 2012)
Tale #1: My physician & I
Claims
“participatory internet technologies… have the
potential to change the way academics engage in
scholarship”
“technological changes are going to flood how we
currently think about, do, and represent research.”
Claims
“participatory internet technologies… have the

“technological changes are going to flood how we
currently think about, do, and represent research.”
“Motion picture is destined to revolutionize our education
system …in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely,
the use of textbooks”
“Education over the Internet is going to be so big it is going
to make e-mail usage look like a rounding error”
“The current understanding of schools in
the digital age [is] hampered by a
curious amnesia, forgetfulness or
even willful ignorance of past phases
of technology development and
implementation…”
Selwyn, 2011, pp. 39
