Put simply, Social Media refers to the ever expanding number of websites where users create content for other users. From creating videos, sharing photos, social networking, or notifying your friends about what you had for breakfast, most of us are engaged in the world of social media. Every student or teacher at EduFire.Com is already taking part in the social media revolution as we create classes and teach each other what we know. However, its virtually impossible for most of us to keep up with the new tools and trends in the world of social media, that seem to be changing on a daily basis. This introductory class will try to answer the following basic questions (and more…..):

1. What is Social Media?
2. How is Social Media relevant to me?
3. Can social media really be used for social good? If so, then how?
4. Besides Facebook, Twitter, and Edufire (of course), what are the top 10 Social Media sites that are changing the world?
5. There’s just too much social media out there, how do I manage it all?

Send me your questions about social media in advance and I’ll do my best to make sure that they get answered in this 60 minute class. I will also hang around after class to answer additional questions.
