Teach “why Twitter”

August 27th, 2009 by barbara raab

A line from a longer blog post by San Jose State University journalism student Suzanne Yada:

Don’t teach social media tools, teach concepts behind them. Don’t teach Twitter, teach why Twitter.

I like that. Thanks, Suzanne.

NB: Suzanne’s post summarizes a panel discussion that included CUNY J-School Prof. Sandeep Junnarkar.

    I like that too. Because when people don’t understand what they are doing, it is just useless.
    If followed and used right, the concepts behind Social Media tools become more effective.
