Twitter Usage and Trends by Faculty

The Faculty Focus survey of nearly 2,000 higher education professionals found that almost a third (30.7 percent) of the 1,958 respondents who completed the survey are using Twitter in some capacity. More than half (56.4 percent) say they’ve never used Twitter. The remaining 12.9 percent of respondents say they tried it, but no longer use it.

Depending how they answered the question — “Do you use Twitter?” — respondents were asked a unique set of follow-up questions. The 20-page report provides breakdown of the survey results by question, including comments provided by survey respondents. The comments allowed faculty to further explain how they are using Twitter, why they stopped, or why they have no interest in using it at all.

It is clear that those educators who’ve had a good experience with Twitter are eager to share comments or anecdotes with others, as well as stretch their imagination to find new applications for using the tool to engage students inside and outside of the classroom.

I love this example of a use of Twitter:

Currently, we have a Russian instructor using it to tweet on every day activities. His students respond in Russian. It gives him a chance to correct mistakes and it gives the students daily practice in writing and understanding the language. Students from other universities have joined in to make it a very dynamic learning tool.

Do you use Twitter? Want to share with us what you do?

  1. Meditating while sitting upright in a chair is an easy position for most people, and as long as your chair is supportive, it's very comfortable too. This is an especially good position for those who find that they tend to fall asleep if they try to meditate while lying down.The lotus position, in which the legs are crossed with the feet tucked up against the sides of the thighs, is probably the most well-known meditation position, and has pretty much become synonymous with meditation practice. However, this is a difficult position to achieve for most people, and it certainly isn't necessary to sit in the lotus position in order to meditate effectively.

  2. HDL is by far the most important. The reason is simple. Our bodies need the good cholesterol called high density lipoprotein. As opposed to LDL, or low density lipoprotein, that clogs our arteries with a thick sticky substance, HDL is there in our system to flush out the bad cholesterol from our blood stream.HDL cholesterol molecules travel through the blood stream and grab onto the sticky LDL molecules and remove them from the walls of our arteries. If these walls become too blocked with plaques made up from LDL, serious health problems can occur including heart disease.

  4. o Ketogenic diet and type 2 diabetes: Are the positive effects observed in some studies independent of weight loss? Does the speed of weight loss influence the effects?
    o Ketogenic diet and ketone body: can ketone bodies help to reduce hunger? Are there other mechanisms involved (eg, proteins)?
    o Ketogenic nutrition and concussion: is it relevant to offer an alternative fuel (ketones rather than glucose) to neurons?
    o Ketogenic nutrition and neurological disorder, cancer: is there any particular utility?
    o Ketogenic nutrition and practicality: is this a realistic model to be applied in practice to certain more vulnerable populations (eg elderly people)?
