Social Media Student Facts

'The Truth About Facebook and Grades' Infographic Lifts Myths

— December 14, 2011 — Lifestyle
Many parents may be wary when their kids frequently go on social media sites, but the 'The Truth About Facebook and Grades' Infographic puts this grief to rest.

The infographic reveals that 92% of all students use Facebook. On average a student spends about 106 minutes per day browsing the site. But, the good news is that even though time spent on the site negatively impacts grades, everything depends on how much time is spent on the site.

In fact, some activities on Facebook could even boost the grades of students. Sharing links and checking up on friends is known to have a positive impact on students' grades whereas making regular status updates harms them. It may not be Facebook, but how you interact with this site that makes all the difference.
Trend Themes
1. Increased Social Media Usage - Parents and educators can capitalize on the trend of increased social media usage among students to develop innovative educational tools and platforms.
2. Impact of Social Media on Grades - There is an opportunity for educational institutions and technology companies to create solutions that help students manage their social media usage and minimize its negative impact on academic performance.
3. Optimizing Social Media Interaction - Companies can provide guidance and resources to help students leverage social media in a way that enhances their academic progress, such as encouraging beneficial online activities and discouraging distractions.
Industry Implications
1. Education Technology - The education technology industry can develop tools and platforms that integrate social media usage for educational purposes, balancing the benefits and potential drawbacks.
2. Digital Wellness - The digital wellness industry can offer solutions that promote healthy social media habits among students, helping them strike a balance between academic responsibilities and online engagement.
3. Social Media Consulting - Companies offering social media consulting services can advise educational institutions on best practices to optimize social media interaction for improved academic performance.
