Social media is here to stay. The platforms may change, but whether we like it or not, some form of social media is going to be around for a very long time. Instead of fearing it, let’s use it to better engage and communicate with our students, our stakeholders, and our colleagues.
In this course, we’ll explore some of the ways social media can be used in your classroom and/or school. We’ll take a look at the most common social media platforms, how you can use them, and how to stay safe while doing so. Lastly, we’ll walk through the process of finding the right platform for you and how you can get started. By the end, you’ll be ready to layout a plan for taking advantage of social media. It’s up to you to take action on it!
