How today’s higher education faculty use social media infographic. Posted by reyjunco on October 23, 2012 in Commentary, Infographic, Research | ∞ Last week, Pearson and the Babson Survey Research Group released the results of their latest survey of how higher education faculty use social media.
The results are quite interesting. For instance, they found that almost 34% of the sample used some form of social media (defined as blogs/wikis, Facebook, LinkedIn, podcasts, or Twitter) for teaching purposes. It’s worth noting that the survey had a response rate of 6% and it’s impossible to tell how generalizable these results are to the greater population of “all university faculty.” In other words, it’s wholly possible that the survey sample contained a greater proportion of faculty who were more likely to use social media (and who were more likely to use social media in their courses).
The sample was also stratified based on Carnegie classification and the results weighted to adjust for differences in response rates by these classifications. Over 100 Twitter Resources for Teachers Always Prepped Blog. This is a repost from Charlie Osborne at iGeneration.

¿Qué es Twitter?
Twitter es un servicio de microblogging que te permite estar en contacto con el mundo a través de mensajes de texto de 140 caracteres. ¿Cómo puedo comenzar a usar Twitter?

Así evitarás seguidores no deseados y facilitarás a otros la decisión de seguirte o no. MUY IMPORTANTE: no facilites tus cuentas privadas. Existe una comunidad EduTwitter donde encontrarás otros docentes como tú; es buena idea, para empezar, seguir a personas con perfiles similares al tuyo.
How Graduate Students Are Really Using Social Media. RedAlumnos vs Edmodo. Ahora al inicio de curso muchos profesores se plantean que herramientas usar con sus alumnos.
Debido al fuerte impulso que están teniendo las llamadas "redes sociales educativas", hace unos días me preguntaron a través de twitter que red elegiría entre redAlumnos o Edmodo. La pregunta no tiene una respuesta general, debe ser cada docente el que encuentre su respuesta. Considero que cualquiera de las dos es una excelente elección, ambas son muy sencillas de aprender a manejar, con lo que la tan temida curva de aprendizaje (por parte del profesorado) es muy suave. Por mi experiencia impartiendo cursos a profesores sobre estas herramientas, en apenas dos sesiones se manejan perfectamente. Ambas están pensadas para el mundo educativo y su forma de trabajo es muy familiar para los alumnos debido a su gran similitud con Tuenti y Facebook tanto en la interfaz como en los procedimientos de uso de ambas redes. ¿Qué son? Un paseo por Redalumnos.
