  • "We already have a guitar. I can learn on my own and with my friends." Me: "It seems like you should get lessons for the basics." Her: "Mom, that's what the Internet is for." It turns out she's already been practicing with the help of YouTube tutorials.

  • balancing the competitive pressures of college-readiness, the need for unstructured learning and socializing, and the role of the Internet in all of that

  • the Internet has been a lifeline for self-directed learning and connection to peers.
  • parents more often than not have a negative view of the role of the Internet in learning, but young people almost always have a positive one

  • Learning on the Internet is about posting a burning question on a forum like Quora or Stack Exchange, searching for a how to video on YouTube or Vimeo, or browsing a site like Instructables, Skillshare, and Mentormob for a new project to pick up.

    This is a great piece that captures much of the essence of how many (teens are the focus, but not exclusive to the points made) are seeing learning today... really important to understand.

  • social comparison.
  • "When you're on a site like Facebook, you get lots of posts about what people are doing. That sets up social comparison — you maybe feel your life is not as full and rich as those people you see on Facebook," he says.
  • "It suggests that when you are engaging in social interactions a lot, you're more aware of what others are doing and, consequently, you might be more sensitized about what's happening on Facebook and comparing that to your own life,"
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The prescription for Facebook despair is less Facebook. Researchers found that face-to-face or phone interaction — those outmoded, analog ways of communication — had the opposite effect. Direct interactions with other human beings led people to feel better.

  • Shouldn’t our real goal be to increase intellectual engagement so that we are developing kids with a love or learning?  And if we are really targeting academic engagement, what about our socially engaged learners who are on the bubble and considering dropping out of school?

facebook education tips friending teachers school

shared by Steve Ransom on 30 Oct 12 - No Cached
  • A simple and popular workaround for awkward or potentially unprofessional interactions is to use Facebook pages, groups or separate accounts in the classroom. Pages are essentially separate profiles that students can Like in order to receive updates, and you can add students to groups in order to stay connected. Creating a separate profile for yourself is an easy way to prevent students from seeing any personal information that you would normally have on Facebook.
  • When you set a social media policy for your classroom, it’s important to delineate clear guidelines with your students on how they should and should not interact with you.
  • “During the term, I perceive that friending a student creates uncomfortable boundaries for the student-professor relationship,” she says. “After all, students post information about their personal lives and vice versa.”

      As you watch this video, try not to focus only on the negative aspects. What is in here that is positive, that needs to be understood by adults, and can be leveraged in education? What about kids like Vishal? What about Nicholas at the end? Do employers want 4.0 students who can't work within social and collaborative contexts? See what Tom Peters has to say:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_w4AfflmeM
