Social      Media      in      Education Sample Clauses

Social      Media      in      Education. Web 2.0 refers to the second generation of World Wide Web which allows users to contribute the content rather than just displaying the static content. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx (2010) defined social media as “a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0 and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content” (p.61). Social media has been popular recently, as reported in a Survey implemented in the US in 2012, that internet users have been spending more time with the social media than any other web sites (Nielsen, 2012).

They surveyed 231 students and then carried out with a smaller, experimental group – of 28 students. They were exposed to social networking as a means of communicating collaboratively with peers and academic staff through a closed Facebook group to share ideas, thoughts and resources for a period of 6 weeks. As a result, the majority of the students indicated that Facebook group interactions improved their learning experience. In another study by Xxxxxxxx et. al. (2014), instructors used a Facebook community of practice of 30 students in their traditional-style classrooms by virtual class discussions. The authors reported that implementation of Facebook in a regular class increased students’ awareness of their classmates’ opinions, especially for controversial ideas; and decreased disconnect between professor and students.
