According to a survey by Joosten (2009), students reported that they need good

(67%) and frequent communication (90%) with their instructor and good communication with their classmates (75%). They also reported that they

need to feel connected to learn (80%) (http://tinyurl.com/yafu8qz).

According to PEW Internet study, “Teens who participated in focus groups for this

study said that they view email as something you use to talk to ‘old people,’ institutions, or to send complex instructions to large groups “ (http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2005/Teens-and-Technology.aspx?r=1).

According to Bulik (July 8th, 2009) “…They

go to social networking sites 5 days per week and check in 4 times a day for a total of an hour per day” (para 7).

According to PEW Internet study, “…

Nearly three-quarters (72%) of online 18-29 year olds use these sites–similar to the rate among teens–with 45% doing so on a typical day” (http://tinyurl.com/33hynyx).

New survey results also show that among adults 18 and older, Facebook has taken over as the social network of choice

73% of adult profile owners use Facebook

According to Joosten (2009), 71% of students want to receive text messages about their class (http://tinyurl.com/yafu8qz).

According to PEW Interent, “the typical

American teen sends and receives 50 or more messages per day, or 1,500 per month.”
