Director of Training & Knowledge Management + Educational Researcher + Professor + Poet + Wikipedian = Liminality + Actor-Network Theory + Open Education
I want to thank the many friends and colleagues who provided me feedback on my initial idea for an extra credit assignment for my graduate and doctoral learners on Twitter. After a lot of discussion, reading, and input from some of my students, I finalized the Twitter Extra Credit Assignments for my courses, and want to share them for anybody else who may find them useful.
They generally follow this format Continue reading “Twitter Extra Credit (for graduate and doctoral courses)“
I am developing an extra credit assignment for my graduate student around Twitter use, and would love some feedback! Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated, as I will hope to make this live for them later this week.
Let me give you a bit of context. I plan to adapt this Continue reading “Course Extra Credit Twitter Assignment“
I was invited to speak at #BCCAgora today, and while it is happening in real time at Berkeley City College in Berkeley, California, I will be attending, presenting, and discussing online synchronously. The event — A conversation about outsourcing education, higher education culture and adjunctivism — is rather aligned with my increasing interest in adjunct work, most notably related to my ongoing facilitation of the weekly #AdjunctChat and its newer Facebook group.
The focus of my contribution today will be:
What I Learned in #AdjunctChat: Collaboration, Concerns, Disciplinarity, and Equity
There is not a single adjunct, contingent, part-time, visiting, or non-tenure track instructor experience, concern, or issue. Some want to share ideas with others in similar experiences or situations. Others like to focus on issues of access and equity with their full-time and tenured colleagues. Still others are interested in exploring new possibilities that arise through the US higher education focus (though increasingly a global practice) on adjunct instructors teaching the majority of courses, on seemingly all levels, in higher education. Whatever the experience or discipline, I find that those with a passion for teaching and researching their areas of interest bring a keen sense of sharing and collaborating to those who are interested in learning more, regardless of the topic and differences in perspective.
Adjuncts are a curious population of knowledge workers, and the over-reliance on their efforts in academia is fundamentally shifting how we run our programs and learners interact with the public face of their institutions. What this will all mean is anybody’s guess, though being part of the experience makes this a dynamic and exciting time to engage with formal higher education.
I am really looking forward to this opportunity to share some of what I learned, as well as collaborate with others with similar interest. Is anybody wants to follow along, the link to the discussion will be available on the #BCCAgora site. and the tag is #BCCAgora.

| JeffreyKeefer | Let’s get started now that we know some of us who are here. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:14:05 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Here is our first question. Please reply with A1: so we can follow the threads. Q1: What social media tools do you use? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:14:35 |
| ai1sa | i’m odd; early career in terms of research (but hav tenure- can i gatecrash?) Interested social media, use of media in teaching #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:15:05 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A1: I suppose this can mean both personal as well as related to your teaching. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:15:06 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer Social media has really been a help for me as an adjunct who doesn’t always have office space #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:15:11 |
| CUNYadjuncts | @jeffreykeefer and my second cousin works at Pace in the education dept.! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:15:31 |
| JeffreyKeefer | RT @Comprof1: @JeffreyKeefer Social media has really been a help for me as an adjunct who doesn’t always have office space #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:16:03 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @CUNYadjuncts Indeed, a very small world! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:16:19 |
| IshaiBarnoy | A1: I use twitter primarily. I was once in a writing workshop that used facebook doc interface. I use blogging platforms, too. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:16:32 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 Which ones do you use with your students? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:16:33 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer A1 W/ my students: edmodo, used to use Ning, youtube, blogs, google docs, FB, LinkedIn. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:16:43 |
| Melissa_Venable | Q1: What social media tools do you use? A1: Twitter mostly, also G+, FB, Pinterest, LinkedIn #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:16:45 |
| VCVaile | @JeffreyKeefer taught complit, fy comp, Spanish, developmental, ESL, GED, family literacy, CAW in afterschool & more #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:17:17 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A1: I use Twitter as my main social media, though have also used FB and LinkedIn for groups, Google groups and docs for collab. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:17:26 |
| anciana | Diigo, Scoop.it, VoiceThread, Blogger, twitterGoogedocs, ePals, tools for digital storytelling #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:17:35 |
| CUNYadjuncts | A1 at CUNY Adjunct Project we use Twitter, FB, a listserv, and a Google Group (for more focused discussion). #Adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:17:58 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer A1 also depending on course: twitter, pinterest, prezi #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:18:14 |
| IshaiBarnoy | A1: I’m on G+, but that seems to have been taken over by the gaming and game design sphere of my life. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:18:20 |
| Melissa_Venable | @anciana Great list! Almost forgot about social aspects of Diigo and Scoop.it. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:18:34 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A!: Great thoughts, everybody. Any other ones we are missing? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:19:05 |
| VCVaile | Q1: What social media tools do you use? A1: Fb, blogs (3 platforms), Twitter (4 accts), Pinterest, Scoopit, Storify, more #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:19:29 |
| anciana | Right now I’m listening to a webinar on audioboo #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:19:30 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I’ve been keepng in touch w/ former students more & more on Linkedin. Gives me feedback on impact of my teaching #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:19:45 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @VCVaile A1: Wow, a lot of accounts to manage. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:19:51 |
| anciana | “about audioboo” #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:19:57 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A1: This seems to stretch us with multimembership indeed. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:20:05 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Now that we know what tools we use, perhaps it may be time for Q2: How do you use social media with your students? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:20:23 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @anciana Welcome to #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:20:36 |
| IshaiBarnoy | A1: That’s right, LinkedIn! I swear, I’ve been swatting off the LinkedIn emails like some deadly mosquitos. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:21:18 |
| JeffreyKeefer | The topic we are discussing is “Adjunct faculty and social media use — Do’s, Don’ts, and other grey areas.” #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:21:34 |
| Melissa_Venable | Q2: How do you use social media with your students? A2: announcements/updates, prof. networking #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:21:52 |
| IshaiBarnoy | A2: I use the blogspot platform as a streamlined, free-for-all alternative to my school’s proprietary course software. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:22:19 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Our question now is — Q2: How do you use social media with your students? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:22:22 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A2: I use a Twitter hashtag with both my classes — #SCPSRPM and #NURS840 #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:22:57 |
| CUNYadjuncts | A2: I can’t speak for all, but many graduate employees use various social media tools in their teaching, incl. Twitter. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:23:17 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A2: I tell my students that if anything is pressing send me a Tweet via @jeffreykeefer or DM me, as that sends me a phone alert #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:23:45 |
| IshaiBarnoy | A2: I tried twitter for a class once, but it was way too large of a learning hump. I ended up calling it off that semester. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:23:50 |
| CUNYadjuncts | A2: Personally, I’ve yet to employ social media in my teaching but have thought about class Tumblrs. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:23:59 |
| Comprof1 | @VCVaile I have diff blogs for diff classes. My classes write the blog. E.g. #adjunctchat. http://t.co/U0dnaUKuVG & http://t.co/GK85ZGWzKf | 8/8/2013 16:24:03 |
| Melissa_Venable | A2: Thanks for the reminder! Also use a class hashtag #edf6284 – share relevant resources, news during the term #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:24:23 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy A2: Can you talk a little more about how you use that and why an alternative to the “official” one? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:24:24 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 Thanks for sharing; we will have to take a look at these later \ #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:24:48 |
| JeffreyKeefer | #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:24:49 |
| VCVaile | A2: I have a dedicated blog for self-paced online ESL study group, volunteer w/ county GED group on Fb #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:25:04 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy A2: I find many of my students are Twitter novices, though that seems to be changing. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:25:23 |
| IshaiBarnoy | A2: I’ve generally grown to see twitter as too invasive, too game-like. The Google email/blogs/docs suite is impersonal enough. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:25:29 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer A2 I’ve had trouble with communication on twitter (w/ class #) I communicate with edmodo. Good mobile app #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:25:33 |
| CUNYadjuncts | A2: Personally, I’d like to do a full-fledged class website but that requires more work for such little pay to begin with. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:26:17 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @VCVaile A2: Do you have any best practices for working with the blog and your students? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:26:53 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer A2: The “official” one has too large of a feature-set, and different interfaces are tucked in odd places. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:27:03 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I just became a member of the #adjunctchat Twub. For live tweets, photos, videos and more, check out http://t.co/qPKJKIfq26 | 8/8/2013 16:27:14 |
| VCVaile | taught online in 90s before LMS, used email, text chat & groups, 1st egroups then yahoo #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:27:27 |
| Melissa_Venable | A2: It’s been tough getting students motivated to use Twitter – developed a few minor assignments to encourage them to try it #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:27:30 |
| Comprof1 | A2 Has anyone had difficulty with univ or students not allowing using any but “official” media sanctioned by school? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:27:32 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer A2: Also, the “official” one is bandwidth-heavy and prone to crashing. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:27:48 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy A2: It reminds me of how LMSs are starting to integrate social media more now #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:28:03 |
| VCVaile | @Melissa_Venable if you think stus r tough try tech resistant #adjuncts #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:28:12 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy A2: They “allow” you to use something else in an official capacity? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:28:31 |
| Comprof1 | @CUNYadjuncts edmodo is easy to set up and good for that. I loved Ning for that until it went commercial (fee based) #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:28:43 |
| Melissa_Venable | @VCVaile 🙂 I can’t even imagine! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:29:14 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer Define LMS, please. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:29:17 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 A2: I am not familiar with that app; can you share a link to it later? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:29:23 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy A2 still too clunky w/ too many bugs. My students lost their blog posts in Blackboard. Nightmare #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:29:51 |

8/8/2013 16:29:53 |
| VCVaile | @Comprof1 @CUNYadjuncts Ning better than most LMS platforms.Too bad it went Pearson #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:29:55 |
| anciana | I teach my students to use social media tools for their own professional development bc they are all future teachers #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:30:20 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy A2: LMS = Learning Management System (e.g. Blackboard or Sakai or Moodle) #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:30:25 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer A2: I never have to put my courses on there. But I teach face-to-face anyway. Blogs are mostly (great) support. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:30:35 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy We also were just told that any BB mobile app use we’ll have to pay (used to be free for teachers) #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:30:50 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Blackboard is indeed a nightmare. But a colleague of mine has become a kind of master in it. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:31:17 |

| VCVaile | @JeffreyKeefer more than a few including communications chair think social media is waste of tiem #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:32:36 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Perhaps a twist on Q2: How do you use social media with your students? = Do we use this with other adjuncts?! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:32:44 |
| CUNYadjuncts | A2: my Q: what’s instructional value of social media to students, and what’s monetary value of teaching it? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:32:56 |
| Comprof1 | @IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer A2 I’m still looking for a good place to put my resources on for f2f These days I use google docs. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:33:16 |
| JeffreyKeefer | RT @CUNYadjuncts: A2: my Q: what’s instructional value of social media to students, and what’s monetary value of teaching it? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:33:47 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @CUNYadjuncts None. Some argue there’s value for a composition class. I’ve grown to see otherwise. Paper and pencil still best. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:34:06 |
| CUNYadjuncts | A2: i.e., how much should/could an #adjunct get paid to teach social media vs. what he/she actually gets paid? important Q. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:34:06 |
| ai1sa | @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy class i teach in has had great success with wikis used to support groupwork inside of blackboard #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:34:23 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @VCVaile I know; I often find using social media a challenge with dissenters, though they are slowly being left behind… #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:34:31 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I’ve tried connecting w/ colleagues on twitter to share resources on same course, but most don’t use #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:34:32 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat I use Google docs and I post the links on a centralized blog. | 8/8/2013 16:34:57 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @ai1sa @IshaiBarnoy A2: That is great; I have not had much success with wikis with my students. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:35:08 |

| JeffreyKeefer | Feel free to keep discussing Q1 and Q2, though let’s move on to Q3 #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:35:51 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer @ai1sa #adjunctchat Say more, please. I’ve been wondering about wikis. Have never used them, myself. | 8/8/2013 16:35:51 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Q3: How do you differentiate between your personal and academic social media usage? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:35:54 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A3: Do you use different accounts for personal and teaching / learning / ongoing study? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:36:29 |
| Comprof1 | @ai1sa @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy I used wikis until my school told us we had to erase everything at the end of each semester #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:36:43 |
| anciana | I really like Voicethread. I have my students each record their reactions to videos or assignments #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:36:49 |
| Melissa_Venable | Q3: How do you differentiate between your personal and academic social media usage? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:36:57 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer A3: I no longer use twitter academically. And I use the Google suite (minus G+) exclusively for courses. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:37:13 |
| VCVaile | #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:37:16 |
| VCVaile | @IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer @ai1sa I haven’t much, but know many experienced who swear by Wikis #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:37:16 |
| JeffreyKeefer | We are discussing “Adjunct faculty and social media use — Do’s, Don’ts, and other grey areas” in today’s #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:37:33 |
| Comprof1 | @ai1sa @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy Our school is very narrow in administering FERPA laws (US privacy laws for students) #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:37:42 |
| CUNYadjuncts | @comprof1 A2 right, what do students get out of it academically other than something they need for professional development? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:38:09 |
| Comprof1 | RT @anciana: I really like Voicethread. I have my students each record their reactions to videos or assignments #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:38:32 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @Comprof1 @ai1sa @JeffreyKeefer Oh, I definitely make sure to erase at the end of each semester. #AdjunctChat | 8/8/2013 16:38:33 |
| ai1sa | @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy particular class is health &environment 1200 students! wikis in gps of 6 used to construct a report #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:38:41 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @ai1sa @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy Indeed, FERPA is an issue when it comes to social media and students #adjunctchat |
8/8/2013 16:38:44 |
| Melissa_Venable | A3: Different accounts/platforms for the most part. Twitter, G+, LI =pro, FB, Instagram=personal #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:38:52 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @ai1sa @IshaiBarnoy What a tremendous class; larger than many moocs! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:39:28 |
| VCVaile | Q3 on differentiating between personal & academic #socialmedia – reminds me of @BonStewart on #digitalidentity #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:39:34 |
| Comprof1 | @CUNYadjuncts What is CUNY policy on social media and FERPA? Wondering if as strict as SUNY #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:39:49 |
| CUNYadjuncts | A3 May I also throw in how do you use social media for #adjunct #activism? 🙂 More #adjuncts on Twitter, e.g., more virality. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:39:58 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A3: I use Twitter and LinkedIn with my students, though use the same accounts I use for my personal stuff there, too. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:40:09 |
| Melissa_Venable | @CUNYadjuncts @Comprof1 Depending on the field and specific course, social media great for networking, broadening connections #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:40:11 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A3: I do have more than one account in some of these tools, though they are more to interact with different audiences. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:40:37 |
| IshaiBarnoy | A3: Me, I’ve been off-and-on weighing the possibility of erasing my personal Twitter/Google existence entirely. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:40:42 |
| Comprof1 | @IshaiBarnoy @ai1sa @JeffreyKeefer But don’t you think it would be so much more educational for students to see others work? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:40:54 |
| ai1sa | @JeffreyKeefer i only use twitter for my academic life, friends family dont tweet #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:40:59 |
| VCVaile | @CUNYadjuncts many on Fb too…not same which keep me busy…syndication a sanity saver #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:41:12 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A3: I find multiple accounts lead me toward bipolar disorder; something like that dualism I try to overcome #ANT #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:41:16 |
| JeffreyKeefer | RT @ai1sa: @JeffreyKeefer i only use twitter for my academic life, friends family dont tweet #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:41:38 |
| anciana | I use Twitter, Diigo, rss feeds of blogs & Scoopit 4 my own pd.Students can access mine but they have their own accounts #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:42:02 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy A3: Goodness, we would never see you again?! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:42:02 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Exactly! Too many personalities. Can help to create a strategy for how you’ll use before beginning. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:42:26 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @Comprof1 @ai1sa @JeffreyKeefer Yeah, but I’m also self-conscious about MY work. I guess it’s a personal issue of mine. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:42:27 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I only mix personal & school on twitter & linkedin because these two are “professional spaces” for me. #adjunctchat Not FB | 8/8/2013 16:42:33 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable @CUNYadjuncts @Comprof1 This may just become a next discussion topic option! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:42:37 |
| CUNYadjuncts | Good q, don’t know. Anyone at #CUNY? “@comprof1: What is CUNY policy on social media & FERPA? Wondering if as strict as SUNY #adjunctchat” | 8/8/2013 16:42:56 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy @Comprof1 @ai1sa I suppose once we acknowledge the NSA reads and crunches all data, what else could we fear?! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:43:16 |
| JennaPrice | @JeffreyKeefer I don’t friend students on Facebook but if I want them to see a status I make it public. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:43:41 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer A3: Heh, I’m trying different things. Deleted soc-med apps from my phone. Trying to limit overall twitter use. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:43:41 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @CUNYadjuncts @comprof1 Will look forward to hearing what you learn about that #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:43:51 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @JennaPrice Welcome to #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:44:00 |
| CUNYadjuncts | @jeffreykeefer I’d welcome that! @melissa_venable @comprof1 #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:44:07 |
| VCVaile | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Have to be on Fb bcz that is where most #adjunct convos & activity are…twitter rules for live #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:44:13 |
| JennaPrice | @JeffreyKeefer on Twitter, I use a particular hash tag for students to follow #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:44:36 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 @ai1sa Ugh, yeah. The NSA. That’s a thing. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:44:47 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @VCVaile @Comprof1 Perhaps you can share some of those references to some of the FB groups you find useful for adjuncts #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:44:50 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A3: Wow, lots of ideas floating around here today. Am exploring faster options for archiving these chats to refer back to #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:45:40 |
| JeffreyKeefer | It may be time to already move on to Q4: Where do you get ideas or go to share about your social media use with your students? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:46:02 |
| VCVaile | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 page & groups, many http://t.co/RAI9WVSLuf & http://t.co/2JQsGjUOjE #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:46:36 |

| VCVaile | Q4: searches, Twitter, chats, news feeds (Fb, RSS, G+) #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:48:31 |
| ai1sa | @Melissa_Venable @jeffreykeefer Here! will be checking out voicethread next… #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:49:17 |
| VCVaile | Q4 above all networks & conversations – connections #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:49:22 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy To that point I saw a note in the window at a downtown community activism bookshop: “Edward Snowden Welcome Here!” #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:49:23 |
| Melissa_Venable | A4: Conversations like this one. 🙂 And instructors who share their ideas, lessons learned via blogs, conferences, etc. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:49:34 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A4: I get most of my ideas reading some of the things that many of those active in #adjunctchat share on an ongoing basis. | 8/8/2013 16:50:12 |
| Comprof1 | @Melissa_Venable A4 Hate to say it, but I’m the guru for most adjuncts I know #adjunctchat. I get ideas from my PLN on twitter #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:50:18 |
| VCVaile | @Melissa_Venable personal lists of blogs…in folders on reader, tagged #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:50:33 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable A4: I think we may need another PLN topic option for the next #adjunctchat as well. | 8/8/2013 16:51:28 |
| VCVaile | @JeffreyKeefer & if you don’t see what you are looking for, ask #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:51:30 |
| Melissa_Venable | @Comprof1 That’s great! You are able to share your expertise. Get the ball rolling. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:51:47 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer A4 Also, our school’s learning & teaching center holds a tech expo each semester. #adjunctchat but I’m ahead of their curve | 8/8/2013 16:51:48 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @VCVaile 🙂 #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:51:51 |

| JeffreyKeefer | Knowing that we have so many more things to still share, time for the final Q5 for today . . . #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:52:44 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Q5: What do you plan to do differently with social media and your students next semester? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:52:46 |

| JeffreyKeefer | A5: I am teaching all summer, though with my class that begins in September I will increase Twitter use around our tag #SCPSRPM #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:53:51 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A5: I think I will discuss the extra credit assignment only via that tag . . . it is extra credit after all! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:54:17 |
| anciana | Having students start a Scoop.it account and attend a Twitterchat:” #langchat, #Ellchat, #edtechchat” #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:54:37 |
| VCVaile | Revising Q5 to: What do you plan to do differently with social media & your learning/action networks #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:54:40 |
| IshaiBarnoy | A5: Usual flipped-classroom fare — busywork online, actual discussions in person. Not sure how to enforce yet. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:54:42 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @anciana A5: Will look forward to your sharing how it goes #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:55:20 |
| Melissa_Venable | A5: TBD – possibly more practice with Twitter, integrate Diigo collection of resources #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:55:27 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy Why only busywork online? A5 #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:55:40 |
| Comprof1 | I like http://t.co/1HXk76rfSA for new ideas on using social media. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:55:48 |
| VCVaile | My goal is to get more board members blogging, more on Twitter. How do you start your stus on twitter? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:55:51 |
| Melissa_Venable | Yes! RT @JeffreyKeefer A5: think I will discuss the extra credit assignment only via that tag. it is extra credit after all! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:56:14 |
| VCVaile | @Melissa_Venable Diigo would be gr8 discussion platform but does not get used much for that #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:56:58 |
| JeffreyKeefer | We have a few minutes remaining in today’s #AdjunctChat on Adjunct faculty and social media use — Do’s, Don’ts, and other grey areas. | 8/8/2013 16:57:04 |
| Melissa_Venable | @VCVaile Create a short list of specific tasks w/how-to guides: set up account, RT, reply… #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:57:05 |
| Comprof1 | @IshaiBarnoy A5 I want to use more video/visual. Going to try to use touchcast which embeds social media links into videocast #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:57:07 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer A5: I want to placing it apart, a duty to be carried out as preparation for class. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:57:30 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @IshaiBarnoy Want to *try* placing it apart. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:57:58 |
| Melissa_Venable | @VCVaile Interesting… may be worth trying out with Diigo #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:58:05 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A5: What rich ideas so many of you are sharing. I feel the bar is now raised higher for me to kick out the jams with #SocMed #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:58:10 |
| Comprof1 | @Melissa_Venable I tried that with various media but found FB best for sharing resources (esp electronic) #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:58:19 |
| VCVaile | @Melissa_Venable need adapting for resistant, adult fac…thinking get them to start by just following a topic or 3-4 tweeps #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:58:35 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @Comprof1 I’ll have to check that one out. Thanks. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:58:39 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I am completely amazed at how quickly today’s chat has proceeded, and nice to see some new faces among the seasoned ones 😉 #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:59:07 |
| tryberg | @JeffreyKeefer would paper “An Introduction to Social Media for Scientists” http://t.co/pptKi2OiUL be of interest to #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:59:28 |
| Melissa_Venable | @VCVaile I like that idea – try out soc med with each other first, in small groups. Locate some of the “big” accts to folllow #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:59:41 |
| IshaiBarnoy | My face is so seasoned #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:59:48 |
| VCVaile | @Melissa_Venable they are worse than any stus about ignoring tutorials, how-to guides, even videos #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 16:59:52 |
| Melissa_Venable | @Comprof1 Thanks for the FB tip! #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:00:04 |
| Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I’ve put shared my syllabi with others (adjuncts & tt at other schools) on google docs. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:00:23 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I think some people have already started to address take-aways and next steps, but perhaps any final thoughts? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:00:28 |
| Melissa_Venable | @VCVaile When you find what works with this group, you should definitely publish/present your experience, tips. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:00:59 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I know a few things I will try differently especially regarding intentionally reaching to my PLN about using SoMe for teaching #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:02:04 |
| VCVaile | & assignments…ROTFL…but may try feeding them content that they have to go to socialmedia to get more of #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:02:07 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I know a few things I will try differently especially regarding intentionally reaching to my PLN about using SoMe for teaching #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:02:07 |

| VCVaile | @Melissa_Venable I could threaten to publish if they don’t participate #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:03:18 |
| Melissa_Venable | Thanks, all! Great Qs and ideas. Gotta run for now… #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:03:20 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Question — we have always met on Tuesdays though today’s Thursday #AdjunctChat seemed well attended and active . . . | 8/8/2013 17:03:57 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Shall we continue to meet this time on Thursdays instead of Tuesdays? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:04:14 |
| Melissa_Venable | @VCVaile Ha! Perfect 😉 #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:04:23 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I think I actually prefer Thursday at this time, though will do whichever day works best for everybody else #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:05:01 |
| ai1sa | @Melissa_Venable @Comprof1 fb a great conduit to the sharing of ideas, the actual sharing of docs i use a messaged dropbox link #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:05:13 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Does anybody have any other topic ideas we can add to our poll for the next #adjunctchat ? | 8/8/2013 17:05:50 |
| VCVaile | @JeffreyKeefer Thurs better for me, not sure why but Tues afternoon has more interruptions, distractions #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:06:16 |
| JeffreyKeefer | We have come to the end of another #AdjunctChat. Thank you for sharing and feel free to continue the discussion! | 8/8/2013 17:07:29 |
| Comprof1 | @ai1sa @Melissa_Venable I need to start using dropbox. I’ve heard a lot about that. any you prefer? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:07:54 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @VCVaile That makes two of us for Thursday; anybody else think this day is better? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:08:00 |
| VCVaile | @JeffreyKeefer getting ready for fall semester, social media cont’d (ethics, privacy, etc). #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:08:10 |
| VCVaile | PS did anyone see the new MLA formatting for citing tweets? #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:08:53 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @VCVaile I have not seen it; can you share a *Link* to it 😉 #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:09:34 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @VCVaile Thanks, will add them to the next poll. #adjunctchat | 8/8/2013 17:09:47 |
