There is already evidence that teachers are using social media as part of teaching strategies, with the aim of encouraging students to view social networks as less of a pleasurable distraction, and more as something that can be used in projects and for personal expression in a medium they prefer.

Great article, we can all use a little help in this area
A recent happiness study from Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert found that the more our minds wander, the less happy we are.
Summing the research, the New York Times wrote, "Whatever people were doing, whether it was having sex or reading or shopping, they tended to be happier if they focused on the activity instead of thinking about something else."
**In short, being mentally "present" and focused on the task at hand really does matter – quite a lot, in fact.

Keep reading for a few ideas about how to make your audience care about what you have to say while enticing them to respond to your posts. After all, social media efforts aren’t nearly as powerful if they’re mostly one-sided conversations. Via Dr. Susan Bainbridge

As you become more comfortable with social media you’ll discover it only takes a few minutes per day to generate content that resonates with users. However, you can’t stop there. It’s also necessary to monitor your pages and respond back to comments or compliments that you receive.

Scoop it provides a rich search field for my subjects of interest. I can search and subscribe to the work of other curators. I can easily 're-scoop' articles that fit my needs. I also troll for information on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and many blogs. When I find an article that fits the needs of my students I use the handy Curation Widget to capture a summary of the article.

Interesting and very informative piece by Brian Solis for Social Media Today.
This is part 6 of a series of posts where Brian introduces his new Book The End of Business as Usual.
I must tell you that if you haven't gotten a copy of this book, you should, it is excellent, timely and relevant!
To paraphrase - social media is becoming part of our cultural fabric and even as we witness businesses, governments, sports teams, and almost every organization socialize communication efforts today,
****much of what we see is merely the beginning of something that will one day become something far more important than the medium itself.
****it is about how people are spending their time, interacting and connecting with one another, and what happens as a result.
To demonstrate the point, there are some profound findings from the recently released Nielsen Social Media Report.

Great information in this evolving marketplace....
Intro:
Posted by Ross Dawson - September 12, 2011
Research company Nielsen has just released detailed statistics on online activity, focusing on social networks and blogging, which at 22.5% of time spent online dominate Internet usage, with more than twice the next category games, at 9.8% of time spent. Below are a few highlights.....
Facebook completely dominates the social networking and blogging space, with over 70 times the next most prominent social networking site. Interestingly Tumblr’s dramatic rise (+183% over the last year) has taken it to overtake Twitter in time spent online.
However Nielsen’s methodologies look only at website visits and don’t the majority of time spent on Twitter, which is on web and mobile clients. Facebook also dramatically surpasses the amount of time spent on Google, however Google is still mostly not a destination site. Over time initiatives such as Google+ may change that.
