The document discusses using social media for learning and communication with students. It provides survey results that show students want good and frequent communication with their instructor and classmates to feel connected. While students view email as something for formal communication, most students frequently use social media like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and text messaging as preferred methods of informal communication. The document advocates identifying pedagogical goals and students' needs, and using social media as part of an overall communication strategy to engage and connect with students, rather than focusing only on the technology itself.
