Announcing, again, our new Facebook page to support our bo0k, 'Flattening Classrooms, Engaging Minds' coming out in January 2012.
Excellent blog post by my friend Vicki Davis (Coolcatteacher) - everyone should read this and learn from it!
Commonsense media supply regular updates on social media tools. This one about FaceBook is an excellent guide.
College students who use Facebook spend less time studying and have lower grade point averages than students who have not signed up for the social networking website, according to a pilot study at one university.
However, more than three-quarters of Facebook users claimed that their use of the social networking site didn’t interfere with their studies.
“We can’t say that use of Facebook leads to lower grades and less studying – but we did find a relationship there,” said Aryn Karpinski, co-author of the study and a doctoral student in education at Ohio State University.
It remains the elephant in the room. Or, more to the point, the "fail whale" in the room.
Just how are social networks, with their millions upon millions of users, going to make money?
