“What steps can educators take to stay current on the quickly changing social media universe?”
The best step, in my opinion, educators can take to stay current on the ever changing social media universe is by interacting more with their students. Teenagers.
By interacting with teenagers,it opens doors for educators to top social networking applications such as Friendster, Facebook and Twitter. The positive thing about these websites are that they have very similar templates or rather basic click-ons such as contacts, pictures etc. Educators who familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of one social networking website, will have not much of a difficulty to navigate around other newer applications.
Another step an educator can do is to “hang” around Youtube. It is a very good place to update yourself about things that are happening all over the world.

show good examples of what social media is. In short, social media creates and communicates to people in different ways.

I thought the point you made about Teenagers being the best step to stay current is right.
ReplyDeleteBy interacting with the teenagers you will gain so much from them as they are always on the go. They seem to know almost everything that is happening. In addition, these teenagers are going to be in charge of the future. They take control and mould the future.
I like the links you have showed us. Very entertaining in the simplest form.
