Shortly after arriving at a big student-affairs conference this week in New Orleans, Rey Junco took a look at the conversation attendees were having on Yik Yak, an anonymous, location-based app. As an associate professor of education and human computer interaction at Iowa State University and a faculty associate at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, Mr. Junco was probably more familiar with Yik Yak than many attendees at the conference, the annual meeting of Naspa — Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. Mr. Junco didn’t follow the conversation on Sunday, the conference’s first day, for very long: "I didn’t find it very interesting," he says.
