Social Media in Higher Education

I recently discovered a new resource for education and other information.  SlideShare is a website that has presentations and videos on a variety of topics including education.  There are lots of presentations made by individuals and organizations.  You can search for a specific topic or even upload your own presentation.  

I found the following presentation very interesting.  As we become more technological, more and more schools are embracing social media in the classroom.  This slideshow discusses that.  It talks about who is using social media in the classroom and the different types of social media that can be used.  Some are more appropriate for different situations.  I know that some educators are hesitant to use social media in the classroom.  It will be interesting to see how this topic evolves in the future.
