“In our connected digital world, we can sometimes feel “behind the times” if we aren’t utilizing social media to keep up with professional and personal relationships. Since we work with students who immerse in social media that feeling is even stronger.As you consider your own professional development, you might find yourself asking a number of questions: What kind of social media interaction is appropriate at my workplace? How do I use social media both personally and professionally? Which platforms are the best for my social communications (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest or private social networks) ? How to brand myself? What privacy guards should I employ?As a researcher, who studies social media use by employees and faculty of higher learning institutions, I will address these and other questions in our hour together.”
"We're now going to do a word association game. After I say each word, I'll be expecting you to respond with a word or two. I want you to answer as quickly as possible with the first word that occurs to your mind."
The survey of CEO
A 2012 survey by Zinch http://www.zinch.com/ and Inigral revealed that approximately 72 percent of college bound students utilized social media networks to research prospective colleges and universities for their higher education

Research out of Simon Fraser University suggests that the online abuse that has been so prevalent on the teenage battlefield is carrying through to the arena of adults at Canadian universities.Papers to be presented at a symposium in Vancouver on Wednesday say that undergraduate students are harassing their peers on social media, instructors are on the receiving end of studentled online smear campaigns, and faculty members arebelittling their colleagues in emails."When you look at cyberbullying among younger kids, or kids in middle and high school, usually by age 15, it dies off," said education Prof. Wanda Cassidy, who worked on the study with two others."What was surprising was the fact that it is happening in universities to the extent that it is."Cassidy said she and her colleagues were curious to know whether teens who bully others online still do it after entering university. The research team also wondered whether faculty staff are being targeted in cyberspace.They surveyed more than 2,000 people and interviewed 30 participants from four Canadian universities - two in British Columbia, one on the Prairies and one in Atlantic Canada.Though some of the data from two universities are still trickling in, the information so far indicates roughly one in five undergraduate students has been cyberbullied, mostly through Facebook, text messages and email, Cassidy said.One of the papers resulting from the study will be published in the Canadian Journal of Higher Education this year. Two other papers are being peer-reviewed.

As schools increasingly use educational technology, students are tracked, traced, monitored, and scored now more than ever before. While this technology may present some advantages, it also substantially raises the risks to student privacy
While college tuition costs continue to rise, admission rates at the nation’s top schools continue to fall. Whether it’s Stanford’s 5.07 percent, Harvard’s 5.90 percent, Yale’s 6.26 percent or Columbia’s 6.95 percent, the numbers for the Class of 2018 are so startling that Cornell’s 13.98 percent admission rate seems downright reasonable.The article about Admission office and Linkedin http://www.csmonitor.com/Innovation/2014/0116/How-LinkedIn-Twitter-and-Facebook-changed-college-admissions
