The study stresses scoring on paper versus scoring on blogs, students that we're able to complete their visitation of the blogs were noted to enjoy and benefit greatly compare to those that could not finish theirs and whether the performance of male bloggers may be different from that of female bloggers. 45 students involved in this study from among degree students of Achievers University. The research study was done within a semester. The achievement test was the major instrument used to collect data from the same students that were exposed to two different tests (Paper Test/Traditional Test and Blogging Test) after proper classroom teaching. The results got were analyzed using mean, SD and T-test statistics. From the findings, it was succinctly shown that the scores of students engaged in blogs far better than when they initially tested traditionally. In the same trend, those students that completed their test on blogs demonstrated high performance than their counterparts that could not. Further, the results also made it crystal clear that students were distributed equally on blogging regardless of their gender differences. The findings from the interview conducted established the fact that the use of a blog for assessment saves student time, the distance for learning and having quick result as feedback. The student has a high interest in the use of a blog for academic purposes rather than only the social affairs of the student. The paper contributes to the existing knowledge by turning blogs as social media into academic media that can foster the academic achievement of students and can also be used to assess students better than traditional assessment.

If social media is about the social brag and the pose, academic social media has dedicated platforms that enable such shares: learning content sharing platforms (educational channels on social video sharing sites and social image sharing sites, learning object referatories, digital libraries, slideshow sharing sites), research sharing sites, publications and review metrics platforms, social learning sites (MOOCs, LMSes), and others. The academic social brag does not have to be negative or offending; it can be designed and harnessed to improve competition and performance among peer academics (in their social sharing), given the reliance on learner/user numbers to justify the original creation and sharing. This work explores academic social bragging across various academic social sharing platforms, dimensions for how these are judged (positively or negatively), and ways to turn academic social brags into something constructive for social-shared teaching and learning.

Social Media Tool

The impact of social media towards many industries mainly business and entertainment is very notable due to the availability of affordable smartphones to the masses. However, in contrast to that, this technology is not utilized extensively to extend the classroom experience for teaching and learning at a university level. While we have tools such as Moodle or other similar Learning Management System (LMS), it does not really provide the sense of presence that the social media tool is providing to its socially active new generation of learners. This paper identifies features in the social media tool (i.e, Facebook) and how it can be used to provide a better after class experience. These features are identified after implementation on different groups of students. The effectiveness is measured based on the students’ grades, their participation level in the class and the lecturer’s performance evaluation at the end of each semester. The paper also suggested proper guidelines for optimizing the use of social media as a tool to assist in teaching and managing classes with large group of students.

In this chapter, the author explores the culturally responsive approach of contextualizing learning using the social media trend, going live, as a metaphor. Literature has demonstrated that culturally responsive educators approach the teaching and learning process by situating learning in the context of children's lives. The author demonstrates how educators' beliefs about content knowledge shapes their teaching approach and curriculum activities. The author makes the case that culturally responsive educators, also known as Green Thumb Educators, connect classroom learning to learning in the community and engage students in problem-solving. The author demonstrates, how culturally relevant educators approach learning by capturing the voices of their students through dialogic exchanges fostered by providing students with opportunities to “read” (interpret) and respond to their lived experiences and worldviews.
