Are You Incorporating Social Media Into Your Classroom?

Organizers of the 2010 AEJMC Denver Conference are conducting a competition for those faculty who are incorporating social media in their classes. Winners will be featured panelists at the conference on August 4-7, 2010. Deadline to apply is May 3. As they note:

Social Media is changing the way we live, the way we do business and the way we connect. Nowhere is this more evident than on our college and university campuses. Yet there are unique challenges in incorporating these areas of emerging practices and technologies into an already established and tested curriculum.

To enter, submit a three page summary of how you use social media and answer the following questions:

How do you incorporate social media in the classroom? How do you ensure graduates continue to leave campuses media literate, and able to apply emerging lessons from social media in organizations today and tomorrow?

Each entry should highlight classroom exercises for incorporating social media, and include suggested articles, books, tools, et al.
