Information presented about social media was very timely and appropriate. The links provided on the use of Twitter and Facebook were very valuable. The presenters indicated students are on social media from eight to 12 hours a day. As educators we need to tap into the social media resource. The key point I took away from this session was that social media is woefully underutilized in our online classes. The potential for this resource is huge. Using social media in classes will better prepare our students for the real world!
