  1. Social Media: The New Note Home Does Age Effect Responsiveness and acceptance to Social Media? By: David Yarbrough EDTC 5130

  2. I hypothesized that there will be a trend demonstrating an increase in preference for digital parent and student communication from schools through the use of social media. • I also speculate that parents age 25 to 45 will be more likely to accept and use social media’s like Facebook, and Twitter more often that parents age range 45 – 65 in my community. Hypothesis

  3. To test my hypothesis, I developed a survey consisting of five questions to define my participants position on social media. I presented this survey at my monthly FFA meeting. Methodology

  4. Please indicate the degree to which each statement applies to you by marking whether you: (1) Strongly disagree, (2) disagree, (3) are neutral, (4) agree, (5) strongly agree. • Social networks are growing rapidly in popularity. How likely are you to join a social networking website like Facebook, or Twitter? • 1 – Strongly 2 – Disagree 3 – Neutral 4 – Agree 5 – Strongly •      • 2. Social networking is more important than face-to-face interaction or traditional communication methods. • 1 – Strongly 2 – Disagree 3 – Neutral 4 – Agree 5 – Strongly •      • 3. How often do you use a computer or networking device like a cell phone on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most often 1 being the least? • 1 – Strongly 2 – Disagree 3 – Neutral 4 – Agree 5 – Strongly •     • 4. Social media is a better method to commutate with you than traditional methods. • 1 – Strongly 2 – Disagree 3 – Neutral 4 – Agree 5 – Strongly •     • 5. I would prefer communicating with social media over a traditional method of calling or meeting face-to-face. • 1 – Strongly 2 – Disagree 3 – Neutral 4 – Agree 5 – Strongly •      The Survey

  5. I had a total of 44 participants respond • 23 Parents = 53% • 7 Male • 16 Female • 21 Students = 47% • 14 Male • 7 Female Participants

  6. As you can see the results from question 4, which asked if, social media is a better method to commutate with you than traditional methods assures that my first hypothesis is correct for the 25 -40 age group. Results

  7. Results As you can see my second hypothesis was correct. Parents in the age range of 25-40 were all receptive to social media as compared to the 41 – 65 age range which all responded lower to the questions in the survey.

  8. In conclusion it appears that there is a preference to communicate by social media in my community and parents in the age range 25 – 45 are more accepting of social media as a means of communicating. Conclusion
