Active dialogue. Faculty continuously desire and attempt to create moments of active dialogue with their students. Within the classroom, that task can be easily achieved, but what about outside of the classroom? Why should the discussion end once the students leave the classroom? Social media tools can help in promoting and continuing the classroom discussion online, using highly accessible, creative, web 2.0 tools such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Wordpress.

Join this workshop to learn more about how social media can help keep the active dialogue going outside of the classroom.
