Social Media for Educators

This is a down-to-earth resource filled with strategies for designing learning activities that work toward specific outcomes. It illustrates the ways in which social media will improve learning and contains case studies that clearly demonstrate social media's ability to:

• Increase communication and interactivity in a course
• Facilitate engaging learning activities
• Enhance students' satisfaction, learning, and performance
