Is Your Facebook Personality Genuine? - 1 views

  • Anne Bubnic
     
    When University of Texas researchers began studying Facebook friends, they expected that users also would exaggerate accomplishments and offer an enhanced version of themselves. To their surprise, they discovered that Facebook profiles typically gave an accurate and realistic impression of the user's real-life personality.

Facebook in classroom, bad idea? - 0 views

  • Anne Bubnic
     
    Social networking sites are extremely popular among students, but there appear to be two competing trends for social media in school classrooms and on university campuses. Some teachers and lecturers are embracing Facebook and Twitter as new ways of communicating with students, and some universities and school boards are banning access to social networking tools entirely, citing security concerns.

Today's Question: Should social media be used in education? - 0 views

  • Educators, however, find themselves with mixed opinions about the role of social media in higher education and its importance in
    the classroom. Some see it as the technology of tomorrow, an important piece to the puzzle of connecting with students, while others try it doubtingly in their classrooms, assuming that the traditional face-to-face contact cannot be replaced.
  • Some people find social media to be a positive experience for education.


    "We’re globally connected,”  said Jason Ohler, a former professor of
    education technology at the University of Alaska, now a media psychology professor at Fielding Graduate
    University in Santa Barbara, Calif. “It only makes sense to be globally
    connected when we pursue education."

No such thing as "deleted" on the Internet - 0 views

    Try this: Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL to the picture is (the actual photo, not the page on which the photo resides), and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will.

Colleges scan Facebook during admissions - 0 views

  • About a quarter of the colleges and universities polled in a recent survey by the National Association for College Admissions Counseling (NACAC) said their admissions officers research prospective students' social-networking profiles before extending admission or scholarships. That means a Facebook picture from a weekend party might cost a student a spot on a premier campus.

    Students, be careful what you post about yourself online: That's the key lesson taken from a recent survey suggesting that many college admissions officers are looking at students' online profiles before they make their final decisions.

The Impact of Facebook on Our Students - 0 views

  • Anne Bubnic
     
    Doug Foderman and Marje Monroe of ChildrenOnline.org review concerns about Facebook and the risks for kids.\n\nThey have Facebook accounts and actually see it as a wonderful, and valuable, resource. However, just because Facebook says that anyone 14 years or old CAN use Facebook, doesn't mean that they should. It isn't an age-appropriate or developmentally healthy place for our children and younger teens to hang out. Facebook is not working to protect our children and the laws in our country are terribly inadequate to safeguard our children online, in general. Not enough is being done to protect and educate children and teens against the risks that come from using the Internet, and Facebook in particular. We (adults, parents, educators) need to do more.

Is Facebook Your "Permanent Record?" - 0 views

  • Anne Bubnic
     
    When Dawn and Bart Beye's 15-year-old daughter began showing signs of an eating disorder, they immediately took action. The Beyes enrolled the girl in a treatment program they thought was covered by insurance. Three weeks later, their insurance provider, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, informed the couple they would no longer pay for the child's treatment. Horizon claimed the disorder is not biologically-based, but emotionally-based, and therefore, not their responsibility to cover. The Beyes sued. And in what could have been a dangerous precedent-setting lawsuit, Horizon subpoenaed the daughter's online writings from MySpace and Facebook to prove it.

    If you're a Gadgetwise reader, you're among the 23 percent of the world's population that has Internet access. You've figured out how to download fresh news, print a boarding pass or tweet. But take a second and try to understand how it must feel to be undigital these days. There's a grating discomfort that comes from being left out of everyone else's secret language. I was reminded of how common this feeling is in my own hometown library last night, when I walked into a free public workshop on Facebook.
