Link the the study.
This study reports on the research findings about undergraduate student use of technology in myriad ways. They've looked at student ownership and use of different types of technology in relation to school work as well as personal endeavors. The limits of the study would be that the target population is the traditional student-I would imagine that most of the numbers that showed up were not surprising when considering the traditional student and his/her use of and access to technology. Would these numbers be considered skewed b/c those that have access would be the ones responding?
I thought this was an interesting article about the uses of technology outside of school work. Again, limitations based on who is taking the survey because of who is being asked to take it, but interesting nonetheless. It had a particular connection to the Alexander article last week-technology can be used against the GLB community as well.
I liked the article you linked out to. It made me think about how/why I've cut back on my own social networking. I found myself always talking about work (and all the work I was doing) it felt like whining.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate how you are making public your connections. That is exactly the work you want to do as you read to help make it "stick."
