Thank you for the opportunity to speak today about probably the hottest topic in the nation, social media. I recently attended the International PRSA conference in Detroit. The most attended session were on social media. It was interesting to hear how large companies are struggling with how to use social media. Everyone also agreed that public relations will forever be changed because of it. I’m going to start today and talk about why you should be using it and then Evan is going to go through some ways the tools are actually going to be used in education.
