"Recent research has shown that social media use is correlated with indices of student engagement. While a relationship exists, no research has been conducted to elucidate the causal connection, if any, between engagement in social media spaces and engagement in the real world. This talk will outline an experimental study, currently underway, that assesses whether first-year college students’ use of Twitter affects student engagement and success."

"Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are the focus of
this fantastic website by NASA. It's a teaching tool that utilizes video
segments to provide flexibility and inspiration for those teaching STEM-
related topics to grades K-5, 6-8 and 9-12. Additionally, many of the
advanced grade segments are appropriate for introductory college level
courses in these areas. Launchpad is the name given to the lessons for 9-
12th graders, and visitors can access it by clicking on the link entitled
"Launchpad Grades 9-12" in the menu on the left hand side of the homepage.
A listing of some of the video content for Launchpad is given, which
includes "Aeronautics", "Communications & Launch", and "Living in Space".
Visitors can click on the listings to access the videos, as well teacher
guides. For those visitors who are no longer in the classroom, but still
want to learn about space via engaging videos can check out "NASA 360 For
Public" on the left hand menu on the homepage. There is a series of a dozen
videos to play online or download which address such topics as "NASA in Your
Home", "NASA and Pro Athletes", and "Exploration and Racing".
