We spoke with teachers, professors and other education professionals about best Facebook practices to help answer these questions and more.

When Should Students Start Using Facebook? 5 Reasons We Use Social Media 8.85K Views 0 Likes There are many reasons we use social media. From the basic to the more advanced, the tool is simply ubiqutious and addictive. This infographic sheds some light for us all. The Importance Of Education In A Facebook World If you’re on Facebook , you’ve most likely seen it: stories or images about a controversial topic that stir up emotion in people, only to be proven false with a quick search from Snopes or Google. If you’re anything like me (and I freely admit that this seems to take more effort than it’s worth), you put your librarian hat on and look for factual inaccuracies. Taking a quick scroll down my Facebook feed shows me just how information illiterate so many people are (or, at least many of my Facebook friends… yikes, does that say anything about me?!). Just yesterday, a friend from college found an article originally posted on Reddit and shared it on Facebook. Some things that caught my attention: - The married couple (for the sake of argument, let’s say their last name is “Doe”) featured in the story were only referred to as “Mr. Further Inspection There was a photograph of the parents included in the article, too. I let my friend know that, to my suspicions, the story was a hoax.

Un site web ou une page Facebook ? Un site web ou une page Facebook ? Le web évolue tous les jours c’est certain mais c’est au fur et à mesure que les années passent que l’on peut se rendre réellement compte de son évolution. Cela a par exemple été le cas de la distinction entre le web 1.0 et le web 2.0 ! Aujourd’hui, nous ne sommes pas encore au web 3.0 mais nous ne sommes plus exactement à l’ère du 2.0, peut être le 2.4 ? Mais avez-vous déjà entendu parlé de ce que je vous parle en fait ? Histoire et évolution Grossièrement, on parle de web 1.0 et de web 2.0, même s’il existe différentes étapes avant et entre ses deux paliers que l’on n’abordera pas aujourd’hui. L’époque du web 1.0 a pour emblème les sites vitrines. une page d’accueil,une page de présentation,une page de coordonnées,etc. Il faut retenir que dans le web 1.0, il n’y avait pas d’échanges possibles avec les internautes, ces sites étaient des sites vitrines statiques, que l’on consultait pour obtenir les informations que l’on cherchait, rien de plus.

Attitudes and Motivation in Second-Language Learning. This book summarizes a 12-year research program concerning foreign-language-learning aptitude and factors which influence academic achievement. Attention is centered on the matter of individual differences in skill with foreign languages, concentrating primarily on adolescents attempting to learn French or English. The studies carried out by researchers from McGill University and the University of Western Ontario give rise to a sociopsychological theory of second- or foreign-language learning. In brief, the theory maintains that the successful learner of a second language must be prepared to adopt various aspects of another linguistic and cultural group. Research approaches are summarized and integrated while the separate research reports are appended with extensive supporting data.

Facebook-kirjoitukset eivät ole vapaata riistaa Vapaata riistaa. Näin voisi tiivistää Julkisen sanan neuvoston puheenjohtajan Risto Uimosen linjauksen sosiaalisesta mediasta. Jos se on Facebookissa, toimittaja voi sitä lainata. Linjaus on ongelmallinen, sillä se ei heijasta Facebookin käyttäjien tapaa käyttää palvelua. Uimonen teki linjauksen JSN:n blogissa kesäkuussa. Jos Facebook on julkaisualusta, sitä koskevat kustantamisen lait ja pelisäännöt. Ehkä siksi, että tämä linjaus tekee työstämme helpompaa. Vaarana kuitenkin on, että tässä kilpailussa kärsijöiksi jäävät ne jopa puolitoista miljoonaa suomalaista, jotka käyttävät Facebookia viikottain. Facebook ilmoittaa käyttöehdoissaan kohtelevansa palvelussa jaettua sisältöä eri tavoin riippuen siitä, onko käyttäjä luokitellut sen julkiseksi vai jakanut sen vain Facebook-ystävilleen – riippumatta siitä, kuinka paljon tai vähän näitä ystäviä on.
