Manage Your Social Media in 5 Minutes a Day
Full text linkThis article describes the social media content management strategy used at Red Deer College Library (Alberta, Canada), which includes an evolving and adaptable social media calendar, targeted timing of social media posts, using a social media management tool, and scheduling content in advance. The author also discusses creating content that is relevant to your users and evaluating your social media activities to constantly improve.journal articleFinal article published.social mediamarketingpromotion
Key ideas in teaching mathematics: Similarity, ratio and trigonometry in KS3
No full textThis short article points to the key ideas in teaching the mathematics of similarity and ratio in Key Stage 3 (KS3) of the curriculum in England for 11-14 year olds and how these ideas provide the basis for teaching trigonometry. In this way, teaching trigonometry can be seen as a context for coordinating a range of KS3 mathematics as well as developing problem-solving skills more generally in which measurement, division, geometric construction, graph plotting, and scaling all have a part to play
Key ideas in teaching mathematics: Probabilistic reasoning
No full textThis short article points to the key ideas in teaching the mathematics of probability in Key Stage 3 (KS3) of the curriculum in England for 11-14 year olds. Research indicates that simulations offer opportunities for pupils to generate large sets of data quickly and so facilitate systematic observation beyond what is possible in practical experiments. Likewise, by modelling with probabilistic reasoning in suitable software, pupils might both engage with meaningful everyday decision-making and, at the same time, see connections between probability and statistics
Key ideas in teaching mathematics: Geometric and spatial reasoning
No full textThis short article points to the key ideas in teaching the mathematics of geometry in Key Stage 3 (KS3) of the curriculum in England for 11-14 year olds. Research indicates that this involves paying attention to the two closely entwined aspects of geometry, the spatial aspects, and the aspects that relate to reasoning with geometrical theory, across both 2D (plane) and 3D (solid) geometry
Key ideas in teaching mathematics: Reasoning with decimals in Key Stage 3
No full textThis short article points to the key ideas in teaching the mathematics of decimals in Key Stage 3 (KS3) of the curriculum in England for 11-14 year olds. Research indicates that teaching approaches seek to construct meaningful links between related ideas such as between measurement, fractions, decimals and percentages
Key ideas in teaching mathematics: Statistical reasoning in Key Stage 3
No full textThis short article points to the key ideas in teaching the mathematics of statistics in Key Stage 3 (KS3) of the curriculum in England for 11-14 year olds. Research indicates that engagement with data, seeking to extract value from it, is key. Informal inferential statistics as an approach that makes it feasible to address inferential statistics through the data handling cycle at quite a young age
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
