How to integrate social media tools into your teaching workday seamlessly

This blogpost basically records how I try to weave social media into my daily life..... Quite a few of my teachers have asked me how I get it right to twitter, bookmark, chat, engage in social media and get my work done. I do not always get it right to juggle everything as effectively as I would have liked to, but I have devised a way to slip in all the things that I feel strongly about into my workday in a way that I do not even notice that I am doing it. So I thought I will share it with you.… Continue

What is a blog and why should we blog? Define blogs and contexts for use. Provide some blogs ideas depending on what kind of blog you would like to create. Take you thro… Continue

This will all happen online using… Continue
