Collective Experience

This paper shares insights from an international community of educators who have been using social media as a virtual space for a scholarly reading group: #edureading. The collection of educator narratives presented in this paper show how social networks on Twitter and Flipgrid were used as inclusive environments for teacher-led professional development. This paper is both a report of research involving five practitioners inquiring into their collective experience, and an exercise in building the scholarly capacity of the #edureading group. The accessibility of the social media platforms, as well as the collaborative, inquiry-based approach to scholarly reading, emerge as key themes in the educator narratives. The findings of this research emphasise that professional learning occurring in virtual spaces is open to social mediation using the norms of social networks, rather than the norms of workplaces, jurisdictions or education sectors, and that this can lead to a greater sense of empowerment for educators

The Impact

Much of the existing research in social media has been directed at examining the consequences of the interactive nature of the evolving medium and communication issues, with little to say about the impact of this medium on brands. Drawing on Fiske's relational model, this current chapter examines the interface between social media and brands, particularly on the breadth and the dimensions of the level of engagement. Social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, are revolutionising the way companies market their products. New means of interaction and dialogue are used in part because of the inherent structure and features of these social media platforms. The chapter concludes by discussing the implications of the analysis for understanding of new terminology in the evolving marketing environment.

The Given

<p>Twitter is one of the most influential social media platforms, facilitates the spreading of information in the form of text, images, and videos. However, the credibility of posted content is still trailed by an interrogation mark. Introduction: In this paper, a model has been developed for finding the user’s credibility based on the tweets which they had posted on Twitter social networks. The model consists of machine learning algorithms that assist not only in categorizing the tweets into credibility classes but also helps in finding user’s credibility ratings on the social media platform. Methods and results: The dataset and associated features of 100,000 tweets were extracted and pre-processed. Furthermore, the credibility class labelling of tweets was performed using four different human annotators. The meaning cloud and natural language understanding platforms were used for calculating the polarity, sentiment, and emotions score. The K-Means algorithm was applied for finding the clusters of tweets based on features set, whereas, random forest, support vector machine, naïve Bayes, K-nearest-neighbours (KNN), J48 decision tree, and multilayer perceptron were used for classifying the tweets into credibility classes. A significant level of accuracy, precision, and recall was provided by all the classifiers for all the given credibility classes.</p>

The Impact

The intensity of social media consumption for young people is now very high, due to the rapid flow of information circulating directly proportional with to the ease of access the social media itself. But there are still some young people who have not equipped themselves with the ability to recognize the benefits and also the dangers of social media consumption itself. The results of observations through the community partner show that the young people in Tanjung Anom district tend to assume information obtained through social media is information from trusted sources. The lack ability of the young people to recognize the benefits and impacts of social media consumption is due to the fact that they rarely get socialization or education about the impact of social media consumption from the government or non-government organizations that may concern about it. This phenomenon certainly needs attention because the information flow circulates very quickly and easily through the various social media platform, it would be very dangerous if these young people then become one of the parties who carry on the information obtained without filtering first. These community service activities carried out at the young people community in Tanjung Anom district discussing about the social media platforms, the ethics in social media consumption, and also sharing about various problems may occur when accessing information on social media. This activity is expected to initiate small changes related to the ability of social media literacy for young people in the Tanjung Anom district.

This article presents the results of a quantitative research study on the social capital and trust of the Lithuanian population in the electronic social networks. The study used an adapted D. Williams’ Internet Social Capital Scale (2006).

Using survey data of social media users in South Korea, this study investigates the dynamics of political rumors in online social networks. Findings of this study reveal the significant connection between the users’ reliance on social media as a source for news and their beliefs in political rumors. Taking a step further, this study underscores the need to understand how users process misinformation they receive through online social networks. Drawing attention to the role of network characteristics in the construction of beliefs around political rumors, this study provides a more nuanced understanding of the conditions under which rumors and misinformation can be regarded as more believable.

Use Of Social Media

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the type of content disseminated by school libraries through social media and what topics are the most commonly used, to discover if, in addition to topics concerning libraries, information with a wide social scope is also disseminated. Design/methodology/approach This paper reviews the use of social media as well as the implementation of a content analysis on the most used 2.0 platforms, to locate which content is the most relevant in the school libraries of public secondary schools in Extremadura. Findings In the Extremadura region of Spain, the results of the 752 publications posted during the period 2014-2017 by the libraries of the 86 public secondary schools on six selected social media platforms generated a total of 4 categories and 14 subcategories, and point to a predominance of topics related to encouraging and promoting reading and writing, and to the library’s support function for both the classroom and the school. However, shortcomings are detected in content related to social aspects of special interest, such as bullying or education in equality. Originality/value The originality of this paper lies in the fact that although there are some works on the analysis of the content of the social web of libraries in general, especially university libraries, the same does not apply to the evaluation of social media in school libraries, and much less about the analysis of social media content in these types of libraries.
