Gluing together Blackboard, Facebook, and Twitter

Presentation to the MAA Session on Trends in Teaching Mathematics Online Students today spend more time on Facebook than on any other website. Course Facebook pages are a way to reach students where they are. But duplicating regularly updated content on an official course website as well as a Facebook page can become tedious. We will discuss methods of integrating a Blackboard or other course website with counterparts in social media spaces, including Facebook and Twitter. All techniques will use free online services and will not require programming. Once set up, connections update automatically and content is broadcast further without additional effort.

- I found this diagram for restaurants when researching. It shows how Web 2.0 platforms become part of a regular old website\n[Explain what these do]. Every “update” to one these gets a twitter post and a FB post. Some tweets go to FB and a blog\n
- Here’s a version of that for a course website. [Explain what these do]. Every “update” goes to twitter (and can go to FB too). Manual tweets can go to FB and BB. I want to focus on these two flows: SS to FB, and BB to FB\n
