  • faculty

  • levels of social media adoption
  • for teaching purposes lag behind both personal and professional use
  • blogs and wikis
  • social sites most often employed in teaching;
    • Kate Singler
       
      I wonder why this is...Is it because blogs and wikis are the most practical, or are professors afraid to branch out?
  • faculty are growing more sophisticated in their use of social media
  • certain platforms
  • personal use
  • others for professional
  • instructional purposes
  • pattern might be linked to more experience on social sites

      Do you think there is a place for social media sites like Facebook in education, or should they be corned into the section of personal use only?

      Time always seems to be an issue when it comes to developing technology tools, especially if it is the first time a person is using it and trying to familiarize themselves with it.

      Interesting...I wonder why?
  • privacy concerns by faculty
  • warranted
  • 13 million users either didn't know about or hadn't cared to set their Facebook privacy settings
    • Kate Singler
       
      Wow, that's a little scary...
  • Facebook and Google's privacy policies are harder to comprehend than the average bank credit card agreement
  • social media policies are non-existent or "gray
  • faculty concerns
  • decreasing over time
    • Kate Singler
       
      Could institutions provide professional development in the realm of social media and its incorporation into the classroom to help these individuals tap into the asset of social media?
  • concerned about removing the "invisible" barrier between instructors and students
  • what you don't know can hurt you
  • FERPA
  • strategies for bringing social media into the teaching and learning process while being mindful of integrity and privacy issues
  • create a single Twitter account for their class
  • have the students manage the Twitter account
  • can't tweet from their own
  • students learn what content is appropriate or "tweet-worthy"
  • job postings requiring social media skills rose 87 percent
  • there is something to be said for being concise where it counts
    • Kate Singler
       
      Interesting concept, and a good point, well made!
  • one of the most popular sites for social sharing for educators
  • a great content-curation tool for instructor
  • create resource boards for themselves, other instructors, or their own students, and use the boards for classroom assignments
  • offers no privacy controls
    • Kate Singler
       
      I didn't realize the lack of privacy controls on Pinterest until I started pinning things for my wedding.  I had dozens upon dozens of notifications of people repinning this and liking that - mainly from people I didn't know.  I can see where this could be worrisome for educators.
  • on't add any comments that can be taken out of context
  • Think before you pin
  • Don't add any comments that can be taken out of context
  • better privacy protections
  • word clouds
  • see if they've used certain words or phrases too often
    • Kate Singler
       
      That's really interesting!  I hadn't thought to use Wordle in that way before!
  • walled garden
    • Kate Singler
       
      I'm not sure I understand what this means...
  • students use social content and toolsets within the environment of an LMS that incorporates social content and tools
  • separate, unique profile specific to academic pursuits
  • educators create a private group on a public social network
    • Kate Singler
       
      Like our EDLT 561 class has!
  • faculty can ensure distinct boundaries between students' schoolwork and social lives on these sites.
  • concerns are decreasing over time
  • student/alumni community
  • cannot fully replace face-to-face encounters
  • not everybody participates
  • The more that faculty members understand the effective uses of social media for teaching and learning, and the better the industry gets at learning how to balance "privacy" within the social sphere, the faster these new practices will proliferate across higher-education faculty and support student engagement and success.

6 Ways Social Media Will Change In 2014 | Edudemic - 0 views

    • Kate Singler
       
      #1:  This is very similar in education, I think.  Because the students we teach are growing up in the digital era, it is imperative that we utilize social media into our teachings. 
    • Kate Singler
       
      #2:  In one year of teaching, I can't even count begin to count the number of times I asked students to get off their cell phones.  If they are that connected to mobile devices, why not utilize them as a teaching resource!  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?
    • Kate Singler
       
      I have heard such good things about Google+ and Google+ Hangouts, but I haven't used them or figured them out yet.  Incorporating an assignment using Google+ for this EDLT 561 course may be beneficial for future sections.

      #4:  Do infographics like the one I'm currently looking at fall into the category of images?  I totally agree with this point and can several ways to utilize images through social media in education.  Multimodal learning can be very effective, and I know I personally learn better when I have an image to associate with content.
    • Kate Singler
       
      The possibilities for using videos in education as a means of social media are endless.  Video sites like Vine are like Twitter (but for videos) in that they are typically very brief.  Using video social media tools like this could help students learn the importance of being concise but effective.
    • Kate Singler
       
      In online classes, podcasts are extremely important, but I have also seen them used more and more in flipped classrooms.  For example, one of the high school science teachers I used to work with ran her classes as flipped classrooms.  Because of this, she would use podcasts to teach students outside of the actual class time so that when students did show up to class that day, they could hit the ground running with labs, projects, etc.  She was able to get a lot more done by using podcasts, and she expressed how great they are for student review purposes, as well.

Introduction to Key Concepts in Five Minutes or Less: The 'Did You Know?' Microlecture ... - 0 views

  •  
    The traditional, hour-long lecture that is so familiar to on-the-ground undergraduates has little place in an online learning environment. However, a shorter, more tightly focused microlecture can help engage learners and add a multimedia punch to a course.

  •  
    The use of social media as a communication tool for educators is inevitable. The paramount value of using social media is the creation and maintenance of relationships. It is a communication accelerant that moves information between people faster than we have ever experienced and, in fewer words than we are used to using.
