Social Media
in the
Classroom

2. Some Basics
• Focus on what you want to achieve, and only
then look for the platform to do it.
• Technology should be easy. If it takes more
than your phone to do it, then find something
easier.
• Don’t get hung up on perfection.
• Share ideas, borrow ideas.
• Twitter is the gateway.

3. “I have materials I want to share with
my class”

8. “Some of my students are taking
terrible notes from my lectures and
can’t follow the textbook”

11. “How can I help graduate students
learn to read scientific papers?”

15. What do you want to share?
