  • First, it is consistent with other findings that the more discussions students have to pay attention to, the less satisfied they were with the learning environment.
  • so perhaps they do not need higher levels of interaction because the content may not need interpretation or further analysis.

  • Third, “requiring student interaction just for the sake of interaction may lead to diminished completion rates. Again, standards for online teaching should not contain arbitrary thresholds for required interaction.”
  • This doesn’t mean we should discourage interaction, but it does mean we should not measure the quality of a program based on inputs like seat time.

  • To use twitter is to get it. To explain Twitter is a losing proposition. Twitter’s reputation as an application is its worst enemy.
  • How could this ever be taken seriously, not to even mention being used as a tool for Professional Development for educators?
  • We can contact individuals around the globe. Our thoughts and ideas can be suspended in time until retrieved by others. We can exchange ideas or information in the form of: text, audio files, photos, videos, Blog posts, articles, URL’s (links), charts, data, and live interaction. All of this is made possible with Social Media.

  • A huge problem with Twitter for some is understanding who is getting the message. Remember Twitter is Social Media and is based on social interaction. If you walked into an auditorium full of people and started talking without engaging someone first, no one would be listening. You would be talking out loud to yourself.  If you introduced yourself to someone and then began a conversation you now have someone listening and interacting. You would then do the same with a second, third, and fourth person. You have connected with those people and selected them as persons you may interact with, and they have selected you as well, based on your intelligent contributions to the discussion. As that works in life, so it works in Twitter.
  • Twitter is only one component of a comprehensive PLN. There are many Social Media applications that serve educators well for communication, collaboration, and creation. All of these applications are constantly evolving or disappearing, to be replaced by new applications. We need to buy into the method and not the tool. Tools change, but learning continues. To be better educators we need to be better learners.

  • so you can build this social newspaper that you're the editor of. You get to decide what you see and what you don't see. And you get to interact with people in a different way. Imagine if you could interact with the stories in The New York Times in a social context?

    This is a really interesting concept because the NYTimes has the e-mails embedded in the page so that you can scroll through them. They also have a text box for readers to enter comments and they are asking for "something of interest" and a summary. These comments may be used in an article. This page now becomes more interactive. Definitely a concept that could be used in education.

  • Veterans realize you can follow thousands of people, but it doesn't mean you're interacting with each one of them on a daily or weekly or even monthly basis. It's extremely easy to place people on lists, and interact with some key people in your learning community on a more consistent basis. T
  • If someone is sharing your stuff, make sure you thank them, and make sure you follow them (especially if they're consistently sharing your stuff). You've taken the time to write a blog post, and someone has taken the time to read it, and then they've enjoyed it enough to share it with others. Absolutely no person is incapable of acknowledging the folks that are sharing their work.

  • Used mindfully, how can digital media help us grow smarter?  My years of study and experience have led me to conclude that humans are humans because we invent thinking and communicating tools that enable us to do bigger, more powerful things together.
  • etter than anyone else, he helped me to understand the importance of attention as the ultimate, finite, precious resource, one which must be constantly attended to, strengthened as a muscle, husbanded for our productivity.   “When it comes to the interacting with the world of always-on info, the fundamental skill, on which other essential skills depend, is the ability to deal with distraction without filtering out opportunity.”
  • Rheingold’s chapter on Attention offers valuable suggestions for strengthening our mindfulness by using meditation, goal-setting, “intentionality,”  and other tools to become more metacognitive and more intentional about how we concentrate in the times when we choose to do so.

  • I conclude that teaching people how to practice more mindful, mediated communication seems like the most feasible remedy…. I’m with Jackson; self-control along with the skillful use of attention, participation, crap-detection, and network awareness through social media ought to be taught to future netizens at early as possible.

  • Once teachers decide how they’re going to use Facebook, they need to follow through in a way that takes class participation on the social network seriously. Junco’s research suggests that social media efforts in the classroom are most effective when they are mandatory and impact grades.
  • recommend using Groups and Pages to communicate with students:
  • Groups: Members of groups do not need to be Facebook friends, but each person in the group receives a message when any member posts to the group. Groups can be either “open,” “closed,” or “secret.” Phillips, Baird and Fogg recommend that teachers create closed groups, which means that the content of the group is private. Be aware that the list of group members will still be public unless you choose the “secret” option.

  • Pages: “In an educational setting we believe that interaction between students and teachers should be open, transparent and secure,” the authors say. “Pages on Facebook are good for this.”
