Using Social Media: Possibilities for Career & Academic Professional Development
Wednesday, March 22
11:30 am – 1 pm (lunch provided)
125 Nolte Center
Is Twitter for you – perhaps as an information-sorting resource, or maybe as a platform from which to share your research? Might ResearchGate or academia.edu or Mendeley become useful tools in developing your research and identifying potential collaborators? Could the teaching-oriented groups available via LinkedIn provide you with a supportive community when you start teaching or find yourself in a new teaching context?
Whether you’re new to social media, have explored some of the platforms noted here, or find yourself on a break from all or some of your social media accounts, come to this session with your computers and your questions about how you might make use of the platforms noted here – and perhaps others – as components of your upcoming job searches and on-going academic professional development practices. Facilitator: Dr. Ilene Alexander, Center for Educational Innovation
