The survey of nearly 2,000 faculty<\/em> found that more than 90 percent of college faculty use social media in the workplace, compared to 47 percent of employees in other industries<\/em>. In the classroom, 80 percent of respondents report using social media for some aspect of their course. Of those, nearly two-thirds use social media within their class session, and 30 percent post content for students to view outside of class. <\/p>\n \u201cFaculty are big users of and believers in social media\u2014nearly 80 percent use at least one online social media site to support their professional career activities.<\/em> More than three-quarters have visited a social media site within the past month for personal use, with half of them posting content,\u201d <\/p>\n More than 40 percent of faculty say they require students to read or view social media as part of a course assignment, and 20 percent assign students to comment or post to social media sites. Almost half of faculty use video and other sites in their teaching, with another one-third using video only.<\/em> <\/p>\n For personal use, Facebook is both the most visited site and, by a large margin, the one with the highest rate of postings. YouTube is the second most visited, but posting rates are low. YouTube and Facebook are also the most frequently cited when faculty report on their uses of social media in support of their professional careers. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Sin embargo cuando vemos espec\u00edficamente las estad\u00edsticas en relaci\u00f3n al uso de estas herramientas en las clases me parece que no podemos celebrar tanto: <\/p>\n Por ejemplo, solo un 20% asigna a los estudiantes publicar en redes sociales. Y solo alrededor de un 30% publicado contenido en las mismas para sus clases. <\/p>\n Los videos en l\u00ednea son las herramientas m\u00e1s utilizadas en las clases mientras que Facebook<\/a> y Twitter<\/a> son las menos utilizadas. Un dato interesante es que una tercera parte de los docentes la \u00fanica herramienta de la web 2.0 que utiliza son los videos en l\u00ednea. Es por eso que mi lectura de los resultados de este estudio es una mucho menos optimista que la que presentan los autores. <\/p>\n Not all social media sites are used equally within a given course. Online video is by far the most common type of social media used in class and posted outside class for student use. Podcasts and blogs are next in popularity, but at rates far below the rate of online video. Several of the sites commonly used for personal purposes, such as Facebook and Twitter, are rarely used as part of a course.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Cuando analizamos cu\u00e1les son las herramientas m\u00e1s populares en el \u00e1rea profesional y personal vemos que todav\u00eda herramientas 2.0 como blogs, wikis y Twitter son utilizadas por muy pocos profesores. Me llama la atenci\u00f3n que Slideshare<\/a> sea tan popular pues me parece un sitio muy valioso. <\/p>\n Para acceder al informe completo del estudio pulse aqu\u00ed.

Leyendo el informe me da la impresi\u00f3n que los encargados del estudio est\u00e1n muy interesados en presentar una visi\u00f3n optimista en torno al n\u00famero … <\/p>\n![\"captured_Image.png\"](\"http:\/\/academic.uprm.edu\/~marion\/blogs-wlw\/1202b40e83a7_7FD8\/captured_Image.png.png\" "\\"captured_Image.png\\"")
