The Use of Social Media in the Classroom: Practice of Implementing Online Activities in Writing Classes by Kseniia Maksimova A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of St. Cloud State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English Studies May 2021 Thesis Committee: Matthew Barton, Chairperson Judith Kilborn Michael Dando 2 Abstract Social media-based activities, such as blogging or tweeting, have recently been integrated into the higher education system and become a part of writing, communication, and composition classes. Numerous studies describe teaching practices that involve the use of social media in the aforementioned classes. As a contribution to the previously conducted research, this study explores comprehensively the experiences of professors who utilize social media as a part of classroom activities in FYC/Advanced Composition. To compile and compare the experiences of composition teachers, I collected narratives that included participants’ reflection on the process of learning about social media. My work included interviewing each participant via Zoom and analyzing the collected material. The main limitation of the study has been a small number of participants that did not allow generalizing information about compositionists’ experiences. Despite the given limitations, the results of the study are expected to be a valuable source of information and inspiration for writing instructors who want to incorporate social media in the classroom. The study introduces social media-based activities and scholarly sources that participants proved to be helpful, provides practical recommendations on addressing students’ challenges, and demonstrates the value of educational networks and collaboration in the field of composition. 3 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my thesis committee – Dr. Matthew Barton, Dr. Judith Kilborn, and Dr. Michael Dando for their incredible support and encouragement during this project. Special thanks to my thesis advisor Dr. Matthew Barton for his assistance, positive attitude, and dedicated involvement in every step throughout the process of research. I am also extremely grateful to all participants of my research study for their time and enthusiasm about this project. This study would not have been possible without their valuable contribution. It has been a pleasure for me to talk to all of them and learn about their unique experiences. I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to the Fulbright program that made this journey possible for me. I am proud of being a part of the Fulbright community at St. Cloud State University, and I am especially thankful to my best friends Sakina Hassani and Tiana Aprianti who shared these two years of graduate school with me. They helped me overcome the hardest times by always encouraging me to believe in myself, which I truly appreciate. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to my parents for supporting my ambitions and cultivating my desire for knowledge and growth. I am grateful for their patience, understanding, and unconditional love that I have carried with me all this time. 4 Table of Contents Chapter Page Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 6 Problem Statement ...................................................................................................................... 7 Purpose of Study ......................................................................................................................... 8 Chapter One: Literature Review ..................................................................................................... 9 Defining social media.................................................................................................................. 9 Social media and multiliteracies ............................................................................................... 11 Compositionists’ experiences: the value of sharing .................................................................. 21 Chapter Two: Methodology .......................................................................................................... 27 Chapter Three: Results.

According to K. Yancey (2004), composition instructors are witnessing the time when literacy “is in the midst of a tectonic change” (p. 298). This claim appears to be quite valid and accurate these days, given the significant impact of new technologies on people’s writing habits and their perceptions of literacy. Considering various means of communication that people have today, it seems appropriate to speak about the terms multimodality and multimodal literacies. Incorporating digital technologies in the writing classroom is obviously supposed to help students develop their multimodal literacy – “awareness and effective use of this range of modalities” (Oxford Reference, n.d.). That is why compositionists express a strong interest in using new technologies and, in particular, social media in their classes. Working on various online platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, appears to be a good technique for developing multimodal literacies among students. Overall, multiple studies illustrate that applying social media in the composition classroom has positive effects on students’ learning outcomes and helps them to develop an ability to reflect critically on their writing, awareness of their online audiences, and an ability to transfer their knowledge according to the writing context. In their research, educators also mention feedback that students provide to them at the end of the course, and they talk about students’ attitudes about social media. For instance, R. Shepherd (2015) notices that despite achieving the desired learning goals in the class, his students seemed reluctant to recognize the connection between an interaction on Facebook and writing for composition classes (p. 91). 7 Speaking further, S. Gilkeson (2015) has mentioned the remark of a student who defined Twitter as “stupid” and a “waste of time” which turned

    Beyond Lurking and Trolling: Examination of College Student Literacy Practices in Online Asynchronous Discussion Spaces Agnieszka Markiewicz Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2018 © 2018 Agnieszka Markiewicz All rights reserved ABSTRACT Beyond Lurking and Trolling: Examination of College Student Literacy Practices in Online Asynchronous Discussion Spaces Agnieszka Markiewicz Over the course of the past 15 years, college student populations as well as information technologies have undergone dramatic changes. Today’s college populations are more diverse as women, minorities, non-traditional students and veterans are the fastest growing populations. Additionally, the number of people enrolled in colleges has gone from 4.9 million in 2000 to 20.2 million in 2017. Simultaneously, the growth and proliferation of information technologies have changed the ways information is consumed and social relationships formed. The Internet, and discursive spaces that are specific to it, allow people to learn at their own pace, connect across national borders, and experiment with identities. This dissertation worked towards understanding how various college populations interact with online spaces, particularly asynchronous online spaces such as Reddit, Quora, Amazon product reviews, and various other spaces. The qualitative data collected for the dissertation included a survey of 84 participants and interviews with 12 participants. The data were analyzed using a theoretical framework based on Socio- Cultural Theories of Literacies, Critical Media Studies, and Postcolonial Theory. Findings and implications of this dissertation show a need for increased involvement in critical media literacies education of college students, and a need for educators to build culturally responsive, civic-based, and globally minded curricula rooted in student information technology usage.

In addition, the analysis of cybernetworks used by disadvantaged, college bound immigrant students in the United States furthers our understanding of the equalization of opportunity and/or replication of the social divide found with more traditional social networks. The research methods consisted of archival data analysis with chat room transcripts; six on-line focus groups of 21 first year students from The City University of New York (CUNY); and one on-line survey distributed to 9,240 CUNY first year students.

Coverimage: © PeterPhoto123/Shutterstock To Ellen While industries such as music, newspapers, film and publishing have seen radical changes in their business models and practices as a direct result of new technologies, higher education has so far resisted the wholesale changes we have seen elsewhere. However, a gradual and fundamental shift in the practice of academics is taking place. Every aspect of scholarly practice is seeing changes effected by the adoption and possibilities of new technologies. This book will explore these changes, their implications for higher education, the possibilities for new forms of scholarly practice and what lessons can be drawn from other sectors.
