Social Media has exploded over the last several years in almost every area of our lives. The majority of the country uses Facebook, Twitter or Youtube in some form or fashion. Companies are leveraging these platforms and many others to build their brands and acquire new customers. It looks like the education industry is finally on the cusp of a social media explosion. Can schools and universities find innovative ways to harness the power of social media to improve education?

TY, good post! Precisely the stuff I needed.
Is there an embeddable copy of this infographic available for us to share and use?
Hey Colleen–I’ll send you an email with the link. Cheers
Well, I certainly hope they can “harness the power of social media to improve education”, because otherwise we will have an entire generation of kids who won’t learn a thing. I cannot fathom how I can show a student something in an actual physical book and it goes in one ear and out the other, then I show them the same thing on a screen and it clicks with them right away! Personally I have the opposite response–would take a book any day over screens and keyboards!
