Assess your students’ needs

Let the data drive your decisions

According to a survey by Joosten (2009), students reported that they need good (67%) and

frequent communication (90%) with their instructor and good communication

with their classmates (75%). They also reported

that they need to feel connected to learn (80%) (http://tinyurl.com/yafu8qz).

According to PEW Internet study, “Teens who participated in focus groups for this study said that

they view email as something you use to talk to ‘old people,’ institutions, or to

send complex instructions to large groups “ (http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2005/Teens-and-Technology.aspx?r=1).

95.1% of 18- and 19-year-olds use social media, primarily Facebook on a daily basis (Salaway, et al., 2009)

96% of undergraduates reported using Facebook (Smith & Caruso, 2010)

43% of undergraduate use Twitter (Smith & Caruso, 2010)

90% use mobile devices to receive and send text messages (Smith, 2010), over 1600 a month (Neilson, 2010)

92% of college-aged students watch YouTube (Moore, 2011)

I like social media for learning

Identify your pedagogical goals and students needs

Assess your needs

Increase communication and contact

Engage students through rich, current media

Building cooperation and feedback

Technology will save us!

Facebook is the answer!

Bwahahahaha!

It’s not about the technology, it’s all social
