Meet them where they are. Use Facebook. It has SMS, email, group discussions, tracking, file sharing through links, and you can post a link to your blog. I would not waste too much time trying to change how students like to communicate. If you do, y…
I agree with Gouri, it is not easy to get students to adopt collaborative learning tools. I suspect there is a certain amount of competitiveness and individualism at work (with my students anyway) and I am certain that there are barriers that preven…
I believe information utilization is absolutely more important, but having retained knowledge of an event such as the Magna Carta is still important. Retained knowledge should be a spring board for students to research a topic. It is finding the cor…
A recent Australian study found this issue (in terms of students seeing the relevancy of technology use when they are attending classes) as well.
In guidelines posted at the end of each subsection, the researchers gave specific suggestions on how t…
I am just curious. In an age where access to information has become very easy, should our brains continue be the repository of information (or knowledge) that is easily available? For example, today, does it matter that a student know which year the…
I have had similar experiences regarding their exposure to and use of web applications. I'm wondering whether some kind of collaborative research project, using tools like Delicious or Diigo, for example, and maybe a wiki or collaborative doc, might…
In a course on globalization, the NY Times and the Economist are great places to blog. For example, frequent articles on energy, environment, global attitudes to the economy, others are available. I have blogged often but have not asked students to…
I really like the idea because it also allows knowledge sharing of resources AND creates a repository of exchanges and tools that students can refer to after the fact. Kudos!
Can you think of good examples to share?
I can vouch for Michelle's addiction to Facebook.
I always get a bit iffy when I hear broad statements being made about students in general. In part, it's because large-group generalizations made without the support of data irk me (if I hear one mo…
Hi: this is Gouri. I like Florence's idea about getting engaged with business, government and other users of social media. Virtually every newspaper these days has a blog or twitter site. Florence has given me an idea. Have students twitter and blog…
These are great ideas, Gouri! Thank you for sharing them.
I teach both online and face-to-face sections of statistics. In my face-to-face courses, I always set up a course website (we use WebVista at the University of Minnesota--it's a combination…
Would examples of professional use of social media be useful? Businesses, government and charities use social media for purposes other than recreation and social life, so given students some idea of how they could use their existing digital skills i…
I like your idea of using Twitter for initial social purposes. The idea of developing a cognitive presence online through a task with a deadline is a very nice one too: this should have helped your students to see Twitter as a medium for learning (a…
Twitter lends itself to many kinds of ice breakers, getting to know who is in the class during the first two-three weeks of class. Some of the question that worked well for me-
I had students create accounts, and then showed them mine in class. We p…
