Description:
Panel examines social media in higher education
"The Use and Abuse of Social Media in Higher Education" is a panel discussion featuring faculty members and graduate and undergraduate students. Audience members are invited to bring their laptops and post questions and comments to facebook.com/socialmediainhighereducation.

Social media is becoming an increasingly popular way to communicate, collaborate and connect, and many of these tools have now made their way into higher education. UT faculty members Brent Iverson and Daniel Bonevac, graduate students Annie Steele, Erin Miller and Michael Roberts, and undergraduates Sid Upadhyay and Aimon Allouache discuss how Facebook, Twitter, and other new media are transforming the college classroom - and raising new questions about privacy. Psychology major and Texas IP fellow Sarah Kettles moderates.
