I’ve been remiss in updating my tumblr
posted on January 29th, 2010
It’s because I’ve been busy with so many other writing projects. Also, I’ve decided that I’m going to move my blogging to a WordPress blog hosted on my own domain. It will be easier for me to maintain it that way. For now, a quick update:
I am happy to report that our Twitter research experiment was a success. I’m staying quiet about it for now because we are currently analyzing our data; however, our preliminary analyses are looking really good.
Rey Junco is an Associate Professor and the Director of Disability Services in the Department of Academic Development and Counseling at Lock Haven University.
Rey Junco’s research focuses on using emerging technologies to help engage and support college students. His books include Connecting to the Net.Generation: What higher education professionals need to know about today’s students and Using emerging technologies to help engage students.
As part of the Net.Generation project, Dr. Junco conducted a large multi-institution survey of student technology use. The Using emerging technologies volume explored, in much more detail, research-based topics such as using social networking sites to help engage students, technology to improve student retention, using blogs to improve student’s writing and marketing skills, and how technology can both help and hurt student mental health.
This blog is dedicated to issues related to using social media in higher education.
