“A virtual place where people share; everybody and anybody can share anything anywhere anytime” (Joosten, 2012, p. 6).
What is the student voice?
Assess your students’ needs
I want to feel connected
According to a survey by Joosten (2009), students reported that they need good (67%) and
frequent communication (90%) with their instructor and good communication with their classmates (75%). They also reported
that they need to feel connected to learn (80%) (http://tinyurl.com/yafu8qz).
I don’t use email
According to PEW Internet study, “Teens who participated in focus groups for this study said that
they view email as something you use to talk to ‘old people,’ institutions, or to send complex instructions to large groups “ (http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2005/Teens-and-Technology.aspx?r=1).
I use social media
95.1% of 18- and 19-year-olds use social media, primarily Facebook on a daily basis (Salaway, et al., 2009)
96% of undergraduates reported using Facebook (Smith & Caruso, 2010)
43% of undergraduate use Twitter (Smith & Caruso, 2010)
90% use mobile devices to receive and send text messages (Smith, 2010), over 1600 a month (Neilson, 2010)
92% of college-aged students watch YouTube (Moore, 2011)
