What You Should
  Know First
Social Media Is Not New
JAN 16 1978
This was the day that social networking was born.
All of today’s social networks are descendants of
CBBS (Computerized Bulletin Board System),
created in two weeks by Ward Christensen and
Randy Suess. It enabled members of the Chicago
Area Computer Hobbyists Exchange to post and
view notices on an electronic bulletin board,
effectively becoming the world’s first on-line
community.
Research study: “Social Network Hierarchies and
their Impact on Business”
Sample: 2322 persons ages 6-54
How Are Your
Students Using This?
✓ Personal Use: Peer to Peer

✓ Personal Use: Family, Limited

✓ Masked Identity: Instinct and Trend

✓ Professional Use: Senior Year

✓ Mobile, Portable (Cell, Laptop, Hotspot)
Issues Involved In Using Social Media
In Both Traditional And Online Courses
✓ Privacy

✓ Legalities

✓ School Policies

✓ Attention

✓ Retention

✓ Interpersonal Skills

✓ Time Management
What makes online privacy such a challenge?

Other people’s cavalier attitude and ignorance about how
they share online and where their information goes affects
       everyone, especially on sites like Facebook.
Sometimes, it’s because they don’t think about cause and
  effect or consequences. The internet doesn’t seem
                related to real life to them.

  Sometimes, they understand the consequences, and
                     don’t care.

 Most of the time, it’s a lack of education in social reach,
    public vs private concepts, and internet safety.


                we should be talking
              about this stuff in classes
Quick Awareness Assessment
If you get a Facebook friend request from a student should you accept or
limit your interaction to your group or fan page?

If you accept, and the student posts pictures of illegal activity on their wall,
did you know that you could be required to report it (depending on what it is
and the involved parties’ age) to the local authorities or the school?

Did you know that Facebook status messages are admissible as alibis and
corroborating evidence in a court of law?

Did you know that employers (and some college admission departments)
are actively seeking social profiles of students and potential employees and
using them in their final decision process?

Did you know that the Library of Congress, Google, Facebook and Bing all
actively track and store tweets and public updates on other services?

Did you know the Facebook Privacy Policy document is longer than the US
Constitution?
Social Media and the Long Arm of the Law


‣Facebook  status messages acting as alibis, corroborating evidence and other
aspects of court cases

‣Twitter   status updates as binding contracts

‣Dispensing     of advice by unqualified representatives of brands or schools actionable

‣Subpoenas      being delivered by Facebook message

‣Entire    companies formed and dissolved without the principals ever meeting in
person

‣Digital   copyright issues arise, fair use, creative commons
How Are Educators
   Using This?
The most successful
 educators focus less on
 shiny objects and more
on teaching a new way to
 problem solve, integrate
        and think.

Get Social In Curriculum (Brainstorm)
    9th Period Implementation by
                                       UC Berkeley’s OpenCast Project
    University of Georgia (freemium
                                       (since 2008) (video)
    model)
                                       Keene State College Learning and
    The need is to create a fully
                                       Teaching Commons
    integrated campus that
    encompasses social media, new
                                       Integrate administration and
    media, transmedia, and old media
                                       admissions as well
    that integrates well with and
    transforms existing curricula as
    well



There are not many colleges doing this well... yet
Part of real world social media means setting clear
guidelines and expectations and making them public
                Intel has a great social media guideline set


Several colleges have been working to get clear guidelines in
 place, with varying degrees of success. Let’s take a look:
               •Washington    University
               •Adrian College
               •Washington State
               •Missouri Valley College
               •Florida International University
               •DePaul University
               •Columbia University (not comprehensive)
               •Social Policy Generator for College Newspapers

The Role of Social Media in Teaching and Learning

  • 1. The Role of Social Media in Teaching and Learning University of New Hampshire, FITSI 2010 Presented by Leslie Poston #fitsirole
  • 2. What You Should Know First Social Media Is Not New
  • 3. JAN 16 1978 This was the day that social networking was born. All of today’s social networks are descendants of CBBS (Computerized Bulletin Board System), created in two weeks by Ward Christensen and Randy Suess. It enabled members of the Chicago Area Computer Hobbyists Exchange to post and view notices on an electronic bulletin board, effectively becoming the world’s first on-line community. Research study: “Social Network Hierarchies and their Impact on Business” Sample: 2322 persons ages 6-54
  • 4. How Are Your Students Using This?
  • 5. ✓ Personal Use: Peer to Peer ✓ Personal Use: Family, Limited ✓ Masked Identity: Instinct and Trend ✓ Professional Use: Senior Year ✓ Mobile, Portable (Cell, Laptop, Hotspot)
  • 6. Issues Involved In Using Social Media In Both Traditional And Online Courses
  • 7. ✓ Privacy ✓ Legalities ✓ School Policies ✓ Attention ✓ Retention ✓ Interpersonal Skills ✓ Time Management
  • 8. What makes online privacy such a challenge? Other people’s cavalier attitude and ignorance about how they share online and where their information goes affects everyone, especially on sites like Facebook.
  • 9. Sometimes, it’s because they don’t think about cause and effect or consequences. The internet doesn’t seem related to real life to them. Sometimes, they understand the consequences, and don’t care. Most of the time, it’s a lack of education in social reach, public vs private concepts, and internet safety. we should be talking about this stuff in classes
  • 10. Quick Awareness Assessment If you get a Facebook friend request from a student should you accept or limit your interaction to your group or fan page? If you accept, and the student posts pictures of illegal activity on their wall, did you know that you could be required to report it (depending on what it is and the involved parties’ age) to the local authorities or the school? Did you know that Facebook status messages are admissible as alibis and corroborating evidence in a court of law? Did you know that employers (and some college admission departments) are actively seeking social profiles of students and potential employees and using them in their final decision process? Did you know that the Library of Congress, Google, Facebook and Bing all actively track and store tweets and public updates on other services? Did you know the Facebook Privacy Policy document is longer than the US Constitution?
  • 11. Social Media and the Long Arm of the Law ‣Facebook status messages acting as alibis, corroborating evidence and other aspects of court cases ‣Twitter status updates as binding contracts ‣Dispensing of advice by unqualified representatives of brands or schools actionable ‣Subpoenas being delivered by Facebook message ‣Entire companies formed and dissolved without the principals ever meeting in person ‣Digital copyright issues arise, fair use, creative commons
  • 12. How Are Educators Using This?

  15. Students exchange questions and answers with their teachers via SMS and browse classroom blogs for additional instruction. Moreover, as an efficient collaborative tool, students can quickly trade notes or take a snapshot of the blackboard for later studying.\n\nLeicester University in the UK turned to Twitter, hoping that the popular micro-blogging technology would encourage collaboration outside of class. Students were provided with an iPod touch, given instructional materials, and told they had to make a few academic-related tweets a day. Soon, a thriving community grew, complete with @replies and hashtags flying back-and-forth between participants, tutors, and even members outside of the program. Additionally, the study has become an unexpected marketing boon for the university. The Association for Learning Technology noted in its newsletter:\n“One year ago, a Twitter search for ‘University of Leicester’ revealed little of interest. More recent searches reveal a growing volume of conversation between existing students, often across institutional boundaries, and also from prospective students, commenting on perceptions of the University and Higher Education in general.”\n\n
