Leveraging Junco's Infographic - The Relationship between Facebook & Student Engagement

Facebook can positively influence student engagement according to Rey Junco's December post Facebook and student engagement infographic

To help student affairs and faculty colleagues appreciate the power of social networking I have found myself referring to this infographic many times over the past couple of months. Two simple figures I have shared include the fact that students sign into Facebook nearly six times a day and that they spend over 100 minutes per day on the site. This resource is full of great nuggets of information that can be used to showcase the influence that social networking has on student engagement.

Several student affairs colleagues I've spoke with have heard about Junco's blog which has been great to discover as he has a lot of good information posted. Check it out if you have not read it: http://blog.reyjunco.com/
