Education was the word of the morning for May’s Social Media Breakfast Memphis. Presenters highlighted the value and importance of continuing education to keep up with the trends in technology, as well as how educational institutions are utilizing social media.
Joan McGrory, Ph. D, with Southwest Tennessee Community College, explained to the group the growing benefits of continuing education, especially in the realm of technology. While Bryan Berretta, of Lausanne Collegiate School, showed the ways their students and teachers are utilizing social media tools such as social bookmarking, blogs and private social networks to share information and stay connected. Bryan’s presentation can be found here on SlideShare.net.
Both presentations sparked interesting discussions on what social media trends are most effective in various realms. What are your thoughts about connecting social media with education?
