Although these numbers look promising for our favorite genre, social media, they should probably be taken with a grain of salt. While we do believe that text messaging is an important method of communication, it doesn't quite fit with what the standard definition of social media is: blogging, social networking sites, and other web properties that engage collective groups of people to drive their content. We would like to see how the numbers really break down among the three "social media" activities they measured, but that data was not immediately available.

The intent of the curriculum is to reduce outcomes, provide common language for all curricula, focus more on learning than on teaching and focus on depth of understanding instead of only breadth. There was a lot of talk of big picture thinking and encouraging teachers to reflect on why they teach what they teach. Early on someone mentioned the goals of education. With some recent discussions on the purpose of education, I thought it pertinent to look up the 9 goals of education for students in Saskatchewan.

In exploratory qualitative research, we have undertaken indicates the consumer might take a broader view of what social media might mean. For example, it could be taken by consumers to mean any digital form of personal communication that helps enable peer collaboration and sharing.

Udemy Blog » Blog Archive » Online education and the rise of the Competency Model - 6 views
-
"Competency" is the watchword. So often we simply ask for people to have basic competency in their job, not excellence even, just competency! Yet the education system isn't based on a competency model. Instead, it's based on credit hours: how many hours a student sits in a class. This model persists like an old t-shirt we hate to give away because of all the good times we've had in it. But it's time to move on; it's time to introduce the competency model as an equal partner in the educational system.
