  • When you consider the possible uses for social media in your courses: find a tool with features that fit your needs, start slowly with just one new project or activity, evaluate your experience and your students' experiences, and continue to revise your approach.
  • Develop your digital identity. Last on my list, but certainly not least, how are you presenting yourself online? What will students in your next term find when they Google your name? Think about how your thoughtful use of social media could help students get to know you and connect with you online. Consider social networking options like LinkedIn and activities such as blogging.

Kaplan and Michael Haenlein published a definition of social media that includes "applications that … allow creation and exchange of user generated content."
