Editor's Notes
- “Graduate students really don’t need to be on the internet—we need to focus on researching, writing, teaching and studying” 2. “I’m an introvert. I consider myself a private person. I don’t want my personal life on the internet” 3. “I don’t have time” 4. “It’s superficial and I don’t see the value” 5. “‘Real’ academicians aren’t into social media”
- Use social media strategically to publicly highlight your graduate student activities and reach a broader audience by commenting or sharing knowledge of current research, or demonstrating teaching skills by posting class materials. •Keep your postings related to your professional ambitions and professional topics, rather than your personal life. •Make a schedule for updating and sharing via social media •Using social media strategically and professionally can help you attain visibility in the field and make connections with others in your field. •Social media has a rapidly expanding presence in academia. Many professors have personal websites, blogs, Twitter feeds and LinkedIn pages.
