Facebook: Lurking, Liking and Life Satisfaction | Psychology Today - 2 views

  •  
    Research shared by Dr. Karen E. Dill-Shackelford that says: "It turns out that such lurkers should beware. A new study says that while Facebook activity may be a sort of combination of fun and boredom for many, it predicts problems for the lurkers. We may need to look out for Facebook envy in ourselves. In a study of emotional experience on Facebook (4), researchers in Germany discovered that a lot of frustration people experience on the site comes from envy. And that envy is much more likely to happen to lurkers than to those who actively participate on Facebook. "

Adam Ruined My Research | Psychology Today - 5 views

  •  
    "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!

(73) Millennials Don't Exist! Adam Conover at Deep Shift - YouTube - 5 views

  •  
    Adam Conover, comedian, discusses the dangers of stereotyping generations. We can't describe all millennials because they are the most diverse people to date. He claims that history shows that older people always talk down to practices of the younger people... it is a trend that has been around for years. Our view of generations reflects our own prejudice and opinions as our lens that we see the world.
  •  
    I always love Adam Conover's videos. This was great. I think his commentary on generational views of technology. It relates with my article about rethinking how we study "screen time". I think educators can easily fall into generational stereotypes when targeting learners. Great find!
  •  
    Honestly don't know how no one laughed at that "baby boomer" joke but this was such a great video. Such an interesting point to note that we label this whole generation as one, but they truly are the most diverse when it comes to everything from background, culture, interests, etc! Thanks for sharing!

'Screen Time' is Over - 1 views

  •  
    This article argues that the term "screen time" is an antiquated approach to researching web and social media usage. The the connected age we live in, and with the wide arrange "screen" utilizations, it is better to research in terms of "screenomes," a coined term that looks at web uses like genomes. How one utilizes the web is more important than how much time spent on the screen.

Billion Dollar Bully highlights why Yelp feels unfair. - 2 views

  •  
    The article extends beyond just discussing Yelp, to other community based internet knowledge platform sites like Wikipedia. Wikipedia is given a pass because it is nonprofit and has an active community dedicated to accuracy- review sites like Yelp and Google have financial considerations that possibly impact their ability to be totally impartial. Do you rely on online review sites? How much weight do you give them when making decisions?
  •  
    I am a heavy user of Tripadvisor when I plan vacations and read hundreds of reviews on lodging, restaurants, and attractions. While I'm quite sure some of the reviews are fake, some of them are obviously fake or are done by persons who seem to be very disgruntled with life in general. When I look at reviews I prefer those that include photos and plenty of details. I tend to ignore the ones that just say things like "I hated it" or "I loved it" as they offer no real value.
  •  
    This is such an interesting topic! I am not a heavy user of review sites but seeing this (https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/) makes me feel strange.

How To Use Wiki In The Classroom - eLearning Industry - 6 views

  •  
    Since we are talking about crowdsourcing, this article explains how a teacher/trainer could use a Wiki with their students and some great ideas.
  •  
    I see that it mentions pbworks and that is the wiki that I learned on which just happens to be the link I just shared to the EME6414 group and involved students from various cohorts crowdsourcing to create a list of various Web2.0 tools. I have now used the word "crowdsourcing" several times today. :)
  •  
    I am intrigued by Wikis, and look forward to working with them. I was particularly interested in the suggestion, for math classes, to post word problems and have student work on them together. I am currenly helping to build a statistics class, and would - given more development time and more knowledge on my part - recommend a wiki to him for that very activity.

  •  
    Thank you for sharing that article! It is really interesting and similar to the concerns addressed in the first article. I just do not understand the default assumption and position that self-disclosure in online spaces will damage the interaction between the stakeholders. In the end, they (e.g., student-teacher, doctor-patient) both perform what they are expected to perform in a work-related context. Self-disclosing individual aspects should not discredit one's expertise, credibility, etc. I am curious about your perspectives. :-)
  •  
    Thank you for the reply! What struck me as valid about the article is that for some relationships, there is no self-disclosure on one side, and maximun self-disclosure on the other. The article talked about psychotherapists. Typically, the individual in therapy knows nothing or very little about the therapist, while the therapist gets to know the person in theapy quite well - one supposes. While I personally would like to know something about the "personness" of a therapist, prevailing opinion is that, should the person in therapy gain knowledge of the therapist through social media, it would damage the theraputic relationship. Same thing with doctors. Perhaps the same thing with priests. I'm a bit paranoid about too much self-disclosure, except for the ADHD thing, so if I where a therapist, I would be OK. However, if I blogged on my struggles with Therapy School, thoughts about patients, etc... I would be more worried. Actually,blogging about patients might cause you to lose your license... and it should! I know all this because my husband is a psychologist. It's almost impossible to have a conversation about his work without violating some ethical code or another. :-)
  •  
    I think I agree with you in the idea that in some relationships there is no mutual disclosure because we expect and accept a level of certain patterns of behavior or let's say self-disclosure. As you have mentioned, while we do not anticipate a therapist to self-disclose 'personal' aspects, the same goes with the person. S/he is expected to self-disclose. I am not familiar with the therapist/person interaction, but I can make connections from my personal experiences. They both have 'preferred, expected' rights and duties in relation to each other. While a therapist may be legitimate to know whether the person is ADHD or not or whatsoever, it sounds reasonable. However, when it comes to the person whether the therapist is an ADHD or whatsoever, wait! A therapist and ADHD??? No way. I wish I read about an expert's perspectives in a blog form that may potentially heal my wounds or others. But at the same time, it is not easy to establish. One of the tensions that I need to resolve, in the end. I am glad that you shared your experiences. Such a nurturing conversation. :-)

Is social media to blame for poor grades? -- ScienceDaily - 0 views

    This was interesting... students who were heavy users of social media did not spend less time studying - so social media is neutral on grades on that point. Students who are on social media about what they are studying have slightly higher grades.

  •  
    if you're off campus, you can access this article via the FSU library -- just log in there first.
  •  
    As I see the word 'categorizing' I just wanted to read the article. The author states that expert ICT teachers engage in social media activities in different ways based on their conceptualization of 'professional learning.' I think this article requires careful, slow reading. It is a little bit intense for me! :-)

Getting Started with Twitter - 5 views

  •  
    While we have already moved way past this, I still thought this was a very well put together explanation for getting started on Twitter from the University of Leicester and may be useful for future classes!
  •  
    This is a great basic explanation of Twitter! I could see us providing this resource to students that may be new to Twitter before designing a class activity with it.
  •  
    The step by step instructions on how to develop a presence are great. Don't often see that. I like the encouraging tone of the piece. Thanks!
