Today’s Key Points The Argument for Using Social Media in Higher Education Social Media Cannot Replace Humanity Using it Most Effectively Brainstorming and Experimentation

The Argument For Using Social Media Key Point #1

The Argument for Social Media in Higher Education Assortment of tools Mix and Match Suits individual learning styles Increases academic success Source: Grover, A., & Stewart, D. W. (2010). Defining interactive social media in an educational context. In C. Wankel & M. Marovich & J. Stanaityte (Eds.), Cutting edge social media approaches to business education: Teaching with LinkedIN, Facebook, Twitter, Second Life, and Blogs (pp7-38). Charlotte, NC: Information Age Publishing.

Why Use Social Media? Students communicate, research, collaborate, create and publish online with or without the help of parents or educators. Students then use social media to promote, discuss and share their thoughts with the world. The quietest students in class speak the loudest on social media. The digital environment is offering us some of the greatest learning opportunities that young learners have ever had.

Student Survey What do their digital lives look like?

Student Survey 97% 80% 42% 35%

Student Survey

They’re on SnapChat… But they DO NOT want us there. They’re on Skype… Why not online office hours? They’re increasingly on Twitter… Why not us, too? Equally on LinkedIn… Are you connected to your students? They love Pinterest (esp. girls)… Are you sharing resources? They like Vines… It’s just too much work to make them. They hate podcasts. They don’t think professors are on social media.

64% I like it when my professors use social media to supplement class content.

54% I expect a face-to-face classes to have online components (Blackboard, Facebook group, etc.) to supplement our in-class experience.

50% I like to connect online with my professors.

43% I like to connect online with classmates.

45% I feel social media enhances my learning experience.

31% I think professors know less about technology than I do.

22% I feel sometimes professors use technology more for the sake of technology than for my benefit.

8% There is already too much technology in my life. I don't need my professor using it, too.

Student Survey

Social Media Cannot Replace Humanity Key Point #2

There’s No App for Good Teaching 1. Keep learning goals ahead of the technology. 2. Opt for the open-ended. 3. Don’t let tech make learning easy. 4. Take feedback seriously. 5. Stay skeptical of individualized learning. 6. Bring in student interests, authentically. 7. Start conversations. 8. Make it open, make it better. Source:

Using it Most Effectively Key Point #3
