    Interesting! This is contradicted by some studies saying that students who are more involved in FB are more engaged in class. The debate continues!

    Tagging because I want to read it, but thought some of you might be interested as well.

    Interesting piece. I've heard lots about the debate over scholarship versus service, and thought that Bessette's analogy to blogging as service was fascinating. Knowledge sharing may not be scholarship in the traditional sense, but it certainly plays an important role in pushing higher education forward, so maybe it should be considered a real part of a scholar's contributions to the field.

    I know some bloggers who are actively lobbying to consider their blogs as scholarship. Some have submitted archives as part of promotion dossiers. Generally, they're not at R1 universities -- although there are plenty of R1 scholars who see how blogging and other social media interactions can enhance their scholarship via promoting their work and building their networks. And many have also talked about the effect it has had on their writing. I think I'll blog about that sometime in the next week.

    "Jean M Twenge Ph.D" discusses how research presented in Adam Conover's YouTube video "Millennials Don't Exist" was misrepresented and how she and Adam were later able to discuss their differing viewpoints rather than bash each other on social media as many would have.

    These two articles are great. She linked to another article in there "How do we know the millennial generation exists? Look at the data" that made me appreciate more how they study generational differences- they compare the results of surveys given to 18 year olds of different years. That does sound like a much more powerful way to measure generational differences. One of the examples was the change in opinion of same sex marriages between 18 year olds in 1976 and today, which made a giant leap in approval. I'm curious what a survey of those now 61 year olds feel about the same topic- if their approval also raised, while it would show a generational difference of opinion at a certain age, it might show a closer agreement between generations on certain topics in the here and now. I wonder how those 18 year olds in 1976 compared to people 43 years older then them, too! I liked her final optimistic take on discussing differing viewpoints. At the same time, I don't necessarily agree with her that all speakers (certainly some of the ones who were banned from speaking at universities) should be given a platform. While discussion is always good, it needs to be honest and faithful; I don't believe that some people are interested in discussion, they just want to win and prove themselves right.

    I wish more people could debate that way! I agree that not everyone wants to discuss- some just want to argue and be heard!

    Thanks for sharing! Twenge has had to defend a lot of her literature on generational studies. I read her iGen book before and the criticism she's received on that topic as well. Very interesting!
