Here are the results from a recent survey of 17 students in the fall class. I used Wordle to create these word clouds, where the size of the word corresponds to its popularity as an answer.
Although some of these questions are different from ones I asked last semester, I am noticing what might be some interesting trends: that more students now have smartphones, and that they’re using Twitter and RSS more often. Hopefully this pattern will continue.
Do you have a smartphone?
If you have a Twitter account, how often do you use it?
How often do you use an RSS reader such as Google Reader?
Where do you get your news?
I never would have guessed that more students would say they get their news from email newsletters than from TV!
