The history of social media

Given that our course began with a history of our own technology use, I found this infographic at Silicon Republic very interesting.

Social media and education . . . again!

This interesting infographic from OnlineEducation.net looks at the good and the bad effects social media is having on students.


While the final verdict is inconclusive, I concur with the final statements:

 "Social media is now a vital part of life, and academia needs to learn how to effectively take advantage. When social media is integrated with academics, studies have shown serious positive impacts on students."

Social Media in Education

This infographic created by OnlineUniversities.com shows how social media is being used in higher education.  As things tend to filter down from universities/colleges to other educational systems, I think the stats are an interesting read.

Students and social media

Wow, look at these stats on student use of social media!  Educators definitely need to enter the mix.
