Art of blog: For example, how to get students to use syllabus. Use video links of step by step instructions. “Clone yourself” as often as possible.
Andragogy technique using options to create once: text link, video with transcript, share in social media. Embed You Tube videos in blog so they can be shared on social media where students are… Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Really, a ton of ideas in this video to keep students in a classroom, the presenter talks fast. How LMS have ability to integrate with social media. Using social media in classroom enhances resume. The presenter see the videos as a way to teach using social media such as twitter to announce to get attention. Social media is the “how” to get students follow us.
