  • Conduct a content audit. 
  • Analyze how and where you are sharing your content. Decide where you need to adjust. 
  • Determine your target audience and make sure you listen to them and pay attention to what they’re doing, too. 
  • Monitor for conversations around your brand and industry with online tools and TweetDeck. 
    • Complaints:
    • Praise:
    • Inquiries:
    • Recommendations/referrals:
  • Pay attention to breaking news and leverage your own content appropriately.
  • Join and monitor forums where people are talking about your brand. Respond when appropriate.
  • Don’t be a robot. Listen to your target audience and those who are similar to your brand. Engage with them.

Nice. We use Facebook to teach bioscience undergraduates about statistics 🙂 See e.g.

Also Twitter #doingstatisticsdifferently #statsexpo etc

My own view is that Social Media is an underused tool in HE that provides an excellent medium for providing students with choice in how they learn. It’s enable us to embed and manage flexible pedagogies within our programmes and offer students interesting new ways to learn…particularly in relation to #makered (Maker Education)

All the above games have physics in common but they’re also all in 2D. If students love these games, consider challenging them with 3D and even 4D games that put physics knowledge to the test. Valve’s Portal series is a great choice, or look into the equally mind-bending first-person games Antichamber or Quantum Conundrum, both of which go beyond the boundaries of Newtonian physics and Euclidean geometry.

Going back to school is not a desirable option, and many schools don’t even offer relevant courses in social media. Where is the affordable, accessible, targeted, and high-quality program that she needs to skill-up?
