Social Media in the Classroom

Call for Entries: SM in the Classroom

Social Media is changing the way we live, the way we do business and the way we connect. Nowhere is this more evident than on our college and university campuses. Yet there are unique challenges in incorporating these areas of emerging practices and technologies into an already established and tested curriculum.

How do you incorporate social media in the classroom? How do you ensure graduates continue to leave campuses media literate, and able to apply emerging lessons from social media in organizations today and tomorrow?

Tell us How You Incorporate Social Media in the Classroom and WIN!
