Social Networking for Student Engagement

Users don’t need an account to access fan page information for events, photos, etc.

Visitor Statistics: any analytics are useful.

I believe we should be focusing 65% on the fan page, 25% on the group, and 5% on the profile page

Questions could be asked via email, on a dedicated Facebook page – broadcasting live the stream – as well as on Twitter.

Faculty, and campus administrators, can utilize social media as a tool for creating new ways to engage students by posting relevant articles, research and websites to these social media sites that students are frequenting on a very regular basis; hence, encouraging outside the classroom learning.

What do you think is the best advice for other teachers when it comes to interacting with students on social network sites?
