New Forms of E-Learning Among US Teens and Tweens
Beyond just mobile persuasion, our lab is also interested in new forms of communication and how these new tools can enhance learning. We're interested to see how persuasion will play a role in the future of online (and mobile!) learning.
A new study released today by the National School Boards Association and Grunwald Associates LLC explores the online behaviors of U.S. teens and "tweens". The study shows that:
- 96 percent of students with online access use social networking technologies (chatting, text messaging, blogging, and visiting online communities such as Facebook, MySpace, and Webkinz)
- 60 percent report that one of the most common topics of conversation on the social networking scene is education.
- 50 percent of online students say they talk specifically about schoolwork.
- 50 percent have engaged in "creative activities," including uploading photos and video
