Why use FacebookEngaging students will mean using their toolsClear leader in social media17% of all internet time on FBMany LMS like featuresCreated a closed Facebook group that all students were required to join.

A small percent of student grade for the class was based on their participation on Facebook but unrelated to case studies.Students were asked to post a news item describing a scientific discovery and initiate a discussion at least once in the course of a semester

Let's be friends: using social networking to enhance learning

Why use Facebok? Also--because there are tools that enable discussionPosts and ensuing discussionsAllows asynchronous discussions (time stamp)Allows students interests to be detected (views and likes)Allows community buildingpictures make everyone familiarInstructors appear approachablePeer-to-peer interactions Allows students responsesReactions to class(comments, follow up questions, follow up articles)Case study teaching is fun with FacbeookSurvey (question) tool:Assess student interestEncourage student preparationKick-start discussionAssess student starting pointPhotosPriming VideosLinksTo readings, additional readings, discussions

Based on a discussion from last semester I thought this was interesting. An Anthropologist takes a scientific approach to love http://www.ted.com/talks/helen_fisher_tells_us_why_we_love_cheat.html - February 6, 2012

Comment to CNN.com article posted by another student, Is empathy in our genes? http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/15/health/empathy-genes/index.html?hpt=he_t4 :

Very interesting article. This article reminded me of the one we looked at while discussing the Love Sick topic in seminar and the animal suggesting a monogamy gene - November 18, 2011

We talked about the power the mind has pertaining to love and what not but how does the mind work pertaining to anger...here is the article that is being used to write this paper Depressed brains may hate differently http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/04/health/depressed-brains-hate-differently/index.html?iref=allsearch October 17, 2011

Found these online quizzes that you can take to determine whether you are "love sick" or not. For entertainment purposes only as if this is probably not based on scientific observations. September 20, 2011QUIZ 1http://quizilla.teennick.com/quizzes/1457464/noaction

McClintock/menstruationOriginal Post: March 14

I finally decided that I want to write about the claim that sisterhood and female bonding is a biological predisposition. I wonder if this is related to menstrual synchrony . . . http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/24/science/how-hbos-girls-mirrors-the-spirit-of-sisterhood-in-nature.html?src=me&ref=science April 28, 2012Student posted article: Do Women Who Live Together Menstruate Together? http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=do-women-who-live-together-menstruate-together March 21, 2012

Student responses to instructor postlol here's the link http://www.thirdage.com/womens-health/true-or-false-women-who-live-together-tend-to-have-synchronized-menstrual-periods. It's pretty interesting.Do Women Who Live Together Have Synchronized Menstrual Periods? | ThirdAge www.thirdage.com March 14, 2012

Okay this is interesting. This study was done of an isreali womens' basketball league and no correlation was found between the menstrual cycle synchrony and the team mates social interactions. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8584602. It doesn't show the evidence thoughExamination of menstrual synchrony ... [Psychoneuroendocrinology. 1995] - PubMed - NCBI www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov March 14, 2012 at 11:44pm

In a nut shell: FB works becauseStudents are there alreadyAllows students:Participation on their turfParticipation on their terms WhenWhat length of postsWhat nature of postsSophisticationNature of participation (witness, applaud, query, answer, discuss, lead)

ChallengesFaculty knowledge of social media tools

Lack of structure for education purposes (non-linear format, no ability to post pdfs, saving back ups)

Student resistance

Maintenance

Lack of controlExtra stuff on assesment and twitter
