I recently watched the video ‘Social Media Revolution 2’.
It was some astounding social media & mobile statistics that are hard to ignore based on the book Socialnomics by Erik Qualman. It conflates a lot of stats in order to make a case for social media being the biggest shift since the industrial revolution.
Through this clip, I could easily understand social media and its effects.
Social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter have become common ground for businesses to target potential customers with advertising and promotional material. Video sites such as YouTube allow users to build a profile, upload videos, post comments, and even allow others to subscribe to a channel.
You might have seen that icons above. You can even find similar icons in the bottom page of this post. All you need to do for subscribing favorite things is just clicking one of those icons that are located in the bottom part of most articles or pages. It shows that the social media is not only a communication tool, but also a pathway to express someone’s opinion.
According to this video, 80% of companies use social media for recruitment. This phrase is something I want to point out. Meaning that inappropriate post like offensive status updates do affect students to be hired in this modern society. It reminded me of the topic about safety tips that I posted before. Students should not expose their private things to the company that they apply.
I’m quite honestly have been struggling to understand why I must struggle to change my habits and engage online. As a future teacher, the above statistics give me motivational urgency.

Yes, there is an urgency to learning social (educational) networking. Good teaching does not always involve technology, but if there are many new ways of accessing and using information that we need to be sure that our students are aware of.
