- W2259478979 abstract "In the few short years since their emergence, social networks have become deeply enmeshed in the fabric of 21st-century life. Leaving aside the question of whether this, on balance, is a good or bad thing, the fact is that our students will conduct a significant proportion of their social and professional lives through online networks well into the foreseeable future. This article describes an approach to social networking designed to advance and celebrate the cause of the very students who have so embraced this mode of communication. Praise My Students! (http://praisemystudents.kbcc.info/) is a faculty-driven, publicly accessible forum housed within the author's community college website, which specifically allows faculty and staff to acknowledge significant student effort and accomplishment. The rationale is that a network of this sort supplies: (a) positive reinforcement for the accomplishments of featured students; (b) an incentive for non-featured students to do similar praise-worthy work; (c) an opportunity for friends and families of featured students to view faculty-authored accolades on the Internet; (d) a mechanism by which the college community stays informed of academic and professional outcomes of former students, and (e) a means by which prospective employers' Google (http://www. google.com/) searches of job applicants will return positive information about our students. The current model of Praise My Students! is built on a user-friendly, open source discussion forum software (Vanilla 1.1.8), available free through http://vanillaforums. org/. The software was customized by a free in order to provide certain critical functions: the ability to preview forum membership applications to ensure that only legitimate college faculty and staff participate, and the ability to preview individual messages to ensure that only appropriately positive messages are posted. This function was accomplished by the premoderation extension application written by Mark O'Sullivan for Vanilla 1.0 (at the time of this writing, a similar premoderation add-on is not yet available for the newly released 2.0). Once customized by IT, the forum page was uploaded to the college server and a link to the forum was created on the college's main page. You can see it here: http:// praisemystudents.kbcc.info/. The Praise My Students! model is not dependent on a particular software platform, however. There are any number of ways to implement a Praise My Students!-style social network. For example, similar functionality could be achieved (possibly with less precise preview control and specific institutional connection) through a site on Facebook (https://www.facebook. com/). The primary impetus for Praise My Students', was to provide a platform for individual professors to publicly voice encouragement, support, and appreciation for some of the most promising students who have passed through their classrooms, but there is the possibility of ancillary benefits. For example, community colleges frequently lose students before graduation through transfer to four-year colleges; these students tend to fall beneath the radar of the traditional accounting of student success. A forum such as Praise My Students! allows for the creation of an ad hoc institutional memory for students who have advanced in their academic careers without benefit of formal graduation. …" @default.
