Let me say that I for one do not see Social Media as a time waster. Do not get me wrong, it can be. I also believe that we teach our students how to best use this platform, it can serve them so well. I have two Facebook accounts, one for me, mostly for game playing (it does cut down on my stress). AND a professional one. I do not friend my students until they have graduated from their chosen course work. Once I friend them, they are encouraged to network, with other graduates, other professionals on my account, and the career sites I am linked into. My current students are given the career sites to start reading and finding graduates from their course. These were wheel based courses, so many of them were in school with each other already. Having access to graduates has made a huge difference to my retention and sit pass rates for their certification testing. I do not feel this could have been accomplished without this media. What are your feelings on the social media?
