Social media is a natural and integral part of a college student’s life. It provides instant access to information and facilitates easy communication with family and friends around the globe. The use of social media outside the classroom is readily accepted; however, its pedagogical use by educators inside the classroom is still unknown. This workshop will show attendees simple and practical ways that one professor capitalized on the strengths of social media and integrated it seamlessly into instruction. Examples will include Facebook, Twitter, Vine, Instagram, Pinterest, Tellagami, Voki, and others.
