    The annual CDW-G 21st-Century Campus Report shows growth in social media over the years. According to the 2010 study, 64 percent of college students reported using social media to connect with classmates on class assignments at least several times a month, up from 52 percent of students who used social media for classes in 2009.

  • By forbidding the use of social media sites in 52% of our nation’s classrooms, schools are suppressing a learning revolution that is characterized by several truths: 1) facility with social media tools is critical to learning and working in the 21st century; 2) 75% of online adolescents are already social networking outside of school; 3) many students hack through Internet filters during class; and 4) exploration of social media sites is part of the adolescent identity.
  • Workshop reports that, on average, kids can actually stuff eight hours of media exposure into five hours of non-school time by media multitasking—phone texting while participating in seven separate Facebook chats and posting to Tumblr.

  • Develop guidelines for use and share with your staff. Update your acceptable-use policy as well as personnel policies to reflect the district’s position on appropriate use of social networking sites. For ideas, check out the Social Media Guidelines for Schools wiki (http://socialmediaguidelines.pbworks.com). Many of the ideas presented here are adapted from this resource, which is meant to be shared and expanded as new information becomes available.
  • reate an official site for your school or district. To protect others’ privacy, set it up as a fan page so people can post comments or become a fan without giving you access to their personal pages. Commit staff time or resources to daily updates. Keep the tone conversational, but represent your organization and your position respectfully and responsibly. According to Pew Research, “44 percent of online adults have searched for information about someone whose services or advice they seek in a professional capacity.”

  • I’d say that 21st Century educators first need to be content experts and second need to be media literate to be relevant to their students.
  • We can’t expect students to use media correctly if as educators we’re not willing to jump in and learn, share and collaborate with our personal learning network.

  • Content experts are a necessity, but there is no excuse to be media illiterate Let students be your guidance if you need help with technology “Media Literate” means willing to learn continuously about tech Using new tools is necessary — new learners have new tools Media savviness doesn’t necessarily mean great teacher Content knowledge is a necessity to evaluate the quality of sources Must remember that many teachers are in different places regarding their tech knowledge — differentiating support is necessary How do Schools of Ed play into this?  What’s their responsibility?

  • to’s study found that high school age students, when working on their own, interact with digital media in one of three ways: 1) “hanging out,” in social networks or online spaces such as blogs, chats or Facebook; 2)“messing around,” or tinkering with software to produce various types of media; 3) “geeking out,” a more serious exploration of one type of media or technology, often in online interest groups. Media to young people might mean Japanese anime, fan fiction, spoken word or rap poetry, video, music or any combination of different forms and styles of communication.
  • The activity at the center is designed to encourage young people to move along a continuum of engagement, from “messing around,” to “geeking out.”
  • YOUmedia center have an instant means of broadcasting their work and get instant feedback from other students and adult mentors. Broadcasting and networking is an essential part of the YOUmedia experience, one that echoes the way young people use technology on their own.

    In a world where three out of four teens have a cell phone, and roughly the same number have used a social networking website, it's imperative that schools not only develop social media guidelines for their students and staff but also teach students about safe and responsible social media use, said a pair of education leaders.

  • First, who will be regulated by the policy—i.e., will certain job titles or departments be excluded altogether or subject to less restrictions?
  • Second, what will be regulated—will all online activity be subject to the policy or only when the employee somehow associates himself with your organization (for example, by using his company e-mail account in his Twitter profile).
  • Third, why are you writing a policy in the first place? Is it to encourage employees to get out there and embrace social media, hopefully with some resulting benefits returning to the employer? Or are you trying to regulate online use of social-networking sites because productivity has become an issue? There are infinite variations of those two choices and your organization needs to settle on one before you start hashing out actual policy provisions.

  • 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.

  • There can no longer be an “opt out” clause when dealing with technology in our schools, especially from our administrators. We need to prepare our kids to live in this world now and in the future. Change may feel hard, but it is part of learning.  We expect it from our kids, we need to expect it from ourselves.

  • the ability of college students to participate in small study groups is the most important determinant of academic success.  Furthermore, students who study with other students at least once per week are more engaged and better prepared than students who study solo.
  • This has deep implications for social media and its application inside and outside of the classroom walls.
  • But unlike traditional study groups, tech-savvy teachers can join in and geographic limitations are erased.
