Social media isn’t all about “twitter” and “facebook” anymore. Jeff Borden showed research showing that students were more apt to complete their major requirements when placed into study groups. He also notes that studies show that at work we work in teams 78% of the time, but that our schools continue to push individual work and individualism. When combined with Sugata Mitra’s work on social learning, it is pretty compelling that we start to pay attention!
