Why Educators Can't Live Without Social Media

From student recruitment to alumni relations, social
media has a place at every step of the student experience. Digital
literacy, capability, and capacity have never been more important for employability, critical thinking, and academic success. Our digital identities matter and we are lifelong learners with digital channels.

Presented at The Manchester College's 2017 Teaching and Learning Conference.

70. I admit to complaining about the endless snow and winter weather from time to time (and especially this morning!), but there is something simply beautiful about footprints in the snow. Think about it: that first step you take in a St. Lawrence snowstorm is captured, however briefly, as is the compacted snow in the aftermath of a snowball fight or the smooth lines left by Nordic skis. There isn't anything like that in summer weather-- nothing to say, I was here, I changed something, I left a part of me behind. Each St. Lawrence winter is full of footprints, and each one tells a story. No matter what kind of boot you leave your print with, know that each step you take will always lead you home to SLU. Thanks for everything you've done for me, Saints, and for the chance to show you around this week. This is Amy Yao '14, heading home, over and out. #stlawrenceu -AY #TMCTLC
