Developing Digital Student Leaders: A Mixed Methods Study of Student Leadership, Identity and Decision Making on Social Media
Social media tools permeate the college student experience (Junco, 2014), including for those students who hold leadership positions on campus. The purpose of this study was to document the experiences and online behaviors of 40 junior and senior student leaders on digital communication tools. The study was conducted at two institutions in the western United States. Three research questions guided the sequential exploratory mixed methods study connecting student leadership, the presentation of identity, and decision-making with social media use. The study involved a three phase mixed methods analysis of focus group interviews and 2,220 social media posts.
Five major findings surfaced, including (a) social media impact starting in K-12 (b) college student leaders’ navigation of social media (c) presentation of digital identity (d) the beginning of leadership presence and possibilities and (e) significance of social media guidance in college. These findings suggest college student educators should implement holistic digital leadership education. Initiatives should begin early, prior to student enrollment in higher education, focusing on identity expression, positive possibilities-based perspectives, with a focus on social media’s potential impact on student groups, social communities, and social change. Findings from this study can mobilize higher education professionals, student peers, and parents to become digital educators, providing tools for students to implement in their digital practices.

How Social Media Affects Our Self-PerceptionBy Kelsey Sunstrum.docxadampcarr67227
How Social Media Affects Our Self-Perception
By Kelsey Sunstrum
Not long ago, a friend of mine deleted her Instagram account. I couldn’t understand why one would ever do such a thing, so I asked and her response caught me off-guard.
She deleted her Instagram because she felt herself becoming depressed by it. The pressure of taking the right picture, with the right filter, wearing the right outfit, at the right place, with the right people was too much pressure.
We are conditioned to project only our best, albeit unrealistic, selves on our social media profiles as a modern way of virtually keeping up with the Joneses.
Regardless of whether you realize it, you’re spending a great deal of time and effort on the creation of your digital identity. The molding of this alternate self depends heavily on how others are projecting themselves in these arenas as well. What happens to your ‘real’ self, then?
Enter ‘smiling depression.’
Smiling depression is a term used to describe people who are depressed but do not appear so. In America today, 6.7 percent of the population over the age of 18 suffers from major depression, and it is the leading cause of disability in the 15-44 age range.
If you were to meet me for the first time, you would be very surprised to learn I have major depression. It is second nature to me to put on a mask of a happy person. Not only do I talk with people, I’m often the loudest person at a gathering and can always find something to joke or laugh about. This is smiling depression.
Social media puts an interesting lens on the creation of the self, and how this construction affects our mental well-being. The ideal self is the self we aspire to be. My ideal self would be a 25-year-old successful freelance writer who lives in a perpetually clean house and who always takes the time to put on makeup before she leaves the house.
One’s self-image is the person we actually are based on the actions, behaviors, and habits currently possessed. My self-image would be of a 25-year-old freelance writer just starting her business in a house that’s mostly clean most of the time and who forces herself not to wear pajamas everywhere.
According to Carl Rogers’s theory of personality, every human has the basic instinct to improve herself and realize her full potential. Like Abraham Maslow, he called this achievement self-actualization. He believed this state was attained when the ideal self and the person’s self-image were in line with each other. This person would be deemed a fully functioning person.
Each of us carries what Robert Firestone termed the critical inner voice. It is a dynamic that exists within every individual that offers a negative filter through which to view our life. It is theorized that the voice is created at an early age during times of stress or trauma.
Social media is not only extremely pervasive, it is an activity in which you are expected to participate. Not all social media is Facebook and Instagram. Think LinkedIn, the.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. This Program counts towards APA Continuing Education credits.
The following program is based in research I did in partial
fulfillment of the requirements of my PhD Program. All of the
data collected, analyzed, and presented here were collected
in accordance with guidelines ensuring ethical research
involving human subjects. All study procedures were
approved by the Institutional Review Board at Boston College.
There is minimal risk associated with the application of the
research presented here. It should be noted that given the
relative homogeneity of the sample used, care should be
taken in applying these concepts to differently situated
groups with different demographics.
There is no conflict of interest related to my presenting this
material as a part of APA Continuing Education.

Digitized DevelopmentOne’s level of sophistication in
navigating digitized development
impacts how one chooses to present
one’s digital identities and how one
understands these digital identities in
relation to their sense of self.
One’s digital identities and the exploration
of and action through these identities
influences one’s level of sophistication in
navigating digitized development (and
potentially how one conceptualizes one’s
selfhood as digitized).
Digital identities are the different representations and
personas students take on through different social media
platforms and in presentation to different audiences.
Digitized development is what occurs when developmental
processes, behaviors, and life experiences play out
differently as a result of the influence of social and digital
technology, their affordances, and the virtual spaces these
technologies create.

42. Addie discussing the pursuit of Likes:
“‘How many Likes did your post get?
What does that mean?’
…That number in itself doesn’t mean anything
unless you compare it to other posts. Then
you get in that whole thing where people start
comparing themselves to other people. That
really isn’t the best route to go down.
Is that what you should be doing whenever you
have a piece of content and it doesn’t do as
well as someone else’s?
What does that say about you?

something you take personally.
‘Wow everyone on the Internet hates me.’
I don’t think that should be the reaction but I
don’t know that everyone else feels the same
way. I know people that have deleted posts
because they don’t get enough Likes. I know
people who Unlike a photo on Instagram
because it suddenly now has a hundred Likes
and they’re mad about. That doesn’t make
sense to me. You’re thinking about it too
much.”
50. Hallie discussing how social media creates a
perfected image…
“I think it was cool that [my professor] asked
us think about the highlight reel. Do we use
social media as a highlight reel of our lives and
how many times out of ten would you say that
you wouldn't post something because it's not a
highlight.
And all of us were like, “Oh, all the time.”
He was like, “Go through your day. How many
things would you post, and how many wouldn't
you?”
51. …I would just encourage [educators] to ask
their students about recognizing—not
necessarily changing it—but recognizing that
what they post, and what other people post,
isn't 100 percent their lives. Because there's a
lot of times when you think that people have
the best life ever because of what they're
posting. When in reality they're going through
a lot, and probably many similar things that you
are, but because they're posting all this fun
stuff, you think that their lives are perfect.”

mulitplistic/relativistic/relationalsingular/unitary
Heavy technology usage is necessary but not
sufficient for digitized development to emerge.
One could be a heavy user of technology and yet
not use it in a way that leads towards greater
digitization of development.
Similar to physical world development, individuals reach
towards higher level sophistication in navigating
digitized development over time.
Digitized selfhood is the extent to which one
views digital/virtual spaces as an integral part of
one’s being and therefore constructs concepts of
self that are more multiplistic, relativistic, and
relational as opposed to singular and unitary.
Technology Usage, Digitized Development, and Digitized Selfhood
?
??
Digitized selfhood was
hypothesized, but only weakly
found in this study.
Digitized development is what occurs when developmental processes, behaviors, and life experiences play out differently as
a result of the influence of social and digital technology, their affordances, and the virtual spaces these technologies create.
76. Engage with students on
social media because we
need to understand them in
all of their contexts. Be open
to a different (not necessarily
better or worse) way.
80. Learn from and with students
how to navigate the online
environment. Help them
avoid mistakes. Help them
understand their self-
presentation and reputation
online. Be a role model.
85. Understand how social
media may impact the
developmental process-both
in light of current theory and
in ways we do not yet
understand. Be able to help
students understand,
navigate and leverage it.
