Relationships are the key foundation to the success of students in our schools. The more we connect with them, the more likely they are to succeed. This is not only true with our students, but also essential with our staff. If we know those we serve, the more likely we are to all be successful.

This wiki was created for school library media specialists by Dr. Donna Baumbach and Dr. Judy Lee, University of Central Florida. The purpose is to provide information about some of the new web-based tools (Web 2.0) and how they can be used and are being used by school library media specialists and their students and teachers. Much of the information--including identifying a need for this kind of information--is the result of a survey conducted in 2008 of over 600 school library media specialists about their knowledge and use of web-based tools in library media programs.

Some surprising thoughts about how social media use actually correlates with better academic performance.  Note from Miriam: To be fair, better social connectedness in general probably has more to do with doing well at school than social media per se. But there are so many new possibilities and uses for social networking sites that whatever connections already exist can only be amplified and empowered online.

If you are a student, choosing a social media research question can be beneficial as well as challenging for you. It is because social media is a new field constantly propagating in almost every sphere of life. Therefore, students can come up with many interesting topics for their research. Choosing the right research question

I am wanting to take a slightly different approach to this weeks post. The past week has seen the latest round of PISA results and the media has had a field day. Headlines have routinely attacked students, educators and education systems in equal measure. The Canberra Times reported that "Australian school scores plummet on world stage", the Sydney Morning Herald led with "Alarm bells': Australian students record worst result in global tests" and The Weekend Australian went with "PISA global educational rankings: Schools fail on maths, science". 

A school leader is always on the go. She needs to stay connected, have access to existing digital media, create new media, collaborate, and communicate. An iPad is a great tool that allows users to have their email, calendar, communication tools, newsfeeds, presentations, teacher/student interaction documentation, and notes all on one small device! The number of apps can be overwhelming, so I always suggest having your main productivity apps on the first screen. Move your secondary, less important, and entertainment apps to a separate screen. Let's create a digital backpack with your iPad.

Funding is the major obstacle for students aspiring to enrol in a PhD degree programme in international universities. Reputed universities are expensive, and as an international student, it is costly to study in an international university. Many students find it impossible to achieve their dream of doing PhD from a reputed university. The UK is the most expensive country to go to for a PhD programme without any question. Britain is one of the most developed countries to live in, and it is the best place to study. Many students dream of going to the United Kingdom for higher education because of its state of the art universities, premium faculty, and multiple job opportunities.

By Michael Simkins and Randy Schultz Engagement is what it's all about today in education, and technology promises unique ways to engage students in learning. In particular, educational technology enthusiasts tout Web 2.0 as the silver bullet for motivating even recalcitrant students to get with the program.

'Inside the Black Box' was written by Black and William in 1998 and in it they describe the classroom as a black box with inputs and outputs but what occurred inside was a mystery. For many teachers the reality has been that what occurs in their classroom has been both private and isolating, a matter between the teacher and his or her students but a task largely tackled alone. But this isolationist view is, in the age of the social media and networking increasingly challenged and more and more teachers are finding their voice, sharing their ideas and gaining valuable insights from a global community of connected educators.

In the modern digital world, traditional communication has been replaced by technology-based communication. Social media has taken over traditional broadcasting. A lot of changes are still happening around the world, and the area of communication research is getting bigger and wider with each passing day. Due to the expansion of communication means, students are more confused than ever about their communication research topics. Modern technology has taken the level of communication to new heights, and this makes it difficult to choose a good topic.

The internet is full of biased, unreliable, fake, and incorrect news. Biases have now become common in social media.

Writing a thesis for doctoral students takes about 8-12 months. You need to work hard and make a lot of effort to complete your PhD thesis. During this period, it is necessary that you have to use reliable news articles to get authentic and effective information.
