What Others are Saying

“

This presentation will provide you with a realistic and practical understanding of social media and how to use it effectively in the classroom.

”

Clair Waterbury

Instructional Technologist, Framingham State University

“

This was a very informative webcast. Social media is constantly changing, and if you don't use it every day, it is hard to keep up with. This webcast offered not only site ideas, but different ways to be effective and how to combine traditional classroom learning with social media.

”

Janine Susz

Instructor of Design, Rochester Institute of Technology

“

Coop [Alisa] and Lisa did a good job of taking a very broad landscape and boiling things down to just a few best practices for beginners. Just the right level for beginners, with enough new resources for folks familiar with this space.
