8. So what exactly is
Social Media?
Social media are media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable
communication techniques. Social media is the use of web-based and mobile technologies to
turn communication into interactive dialogue. Andreas Kaplan
and Michael Haenlein also define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that
build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation
and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as
consumer-generated media (CGM). A common thread running through all definitions of social
media is a blending of technology and social interaction for
the co-creation of value.

students can tweet
via smartphone or SMS
as they come across
real-world
examples of what they are studying in class
35. Will their use of Twitter in Italian
help improve their communication in Italian?
I believe if they have an actual environment that makes their use of
Italian seem “real”, they will be more likely to voluntarily use the
language outside of the classroom environment with their peers
and possibly “real Italians”
We have class on Mondays & Wednesdays. They
must Twitter in Italian on two other weekdays
(their choice of Tuesdays, Thursdays or Fridays).
They must also, once a week, reply to a Tweet of
one of their peers, so that a communication of @iVenus via
sorts occurs. An Academic at Work
