Educational institutions need to adopt better social media programs and processes to engage students who use social media as part of their everyday lives
Educational institutions need to ensure that students, faculty and administrators can use a safe and monitored social media environment to work and collaborate
Business will begin to adopt more social media into everyday processes and expect workers to know how to use it effectively and appropriately
Students and graduates need to be taught how to use social media in an effective and appropriate manner, especially in a secure and monitored social media environment
