provide timely feedback. This book is a can't-miss for
educators." Amy M. Collier, associate director for technology

don't know where to begin? Joosten's comprehensive hands-on book
describes step-by-step how social media can add richness to your
course content and have a positive impact on student outcomes."

"Many faculty are hesitant to incorporate social media into
their teaching for fear that it will be a distraction or too time
consuming. Tanya Joosten has done a remarkable job outlining the
benefits and considerations of doing so. Faculty who read

the best approach to take." John Dolan, director, digital
