    http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2012/10/balancing-advantages-disadvantages-student-social-media-use/ "In " Only Disconnect," Andrew Reiner, writing for The Chronicle of Higher Education, lamented the state of American youth, particularly their preoccupation with social media. By the end of his article, Reiner advocated for social media Sabbaths, in which students would disconnect from their networks in order to more deeply engage with each other and their academic pursuits.

      Good or bad, some kind of information related to student effort needs to be relayed.
  • the sooner I get feedback, the better

      Waiting until the last week of class to provide any kind of feedback has no point.
  • What specifically should I do more or less of next time, based on this information?

      Keep this question in mind when providing student feedback.

  • What makes any assessment in education formative is not merely that it precedes summative assessments, but that the performer has opportunities, if results are less than optimal, to reshape the performance to better achieve the goal. In summative assessment, the feedback comes too late; the performance is over.
  • Although the universal teacher lament that there's no time for such feedback is understandable, remember that "no time to give and use feedback" actually means "no time to cause learning." As we have seen, research shows that less teaching plus more feedback is the key to achieving greater learning. And there are numerous ways—through technology, peers, and other teachers—that students can get the feedback they need.

    Another great source on providing timely feedback throughout the course to enhance student learning.
