Event Overview

Colleges and faculty continue to grapple with how best to leverage different social media platforms, which continue to be a central part of our daily lives. This workshop is appropriate for both faculty and administrators, and will provide opportunities to explore issues related to social media that impact the classroom and the institution. Attendees will also have opportunities to explore and try out several different types of social media for both new and intermediate users. We will explore how to effectively use social media and its importance in the college context, both inside and outside the classroom.

Session Outcomes:
- Faculty will be able to better assess social media and its potential uses for the classroom.
-Administrators will gain knowledge on how to approach and deploy social media for engagement with students, faculty, and the community.
-Attendees will gain more hands-on experience with at least two social media platforms.
