Marquette University associate professor Gee Ekechai uses Twitter to discuss what she's teaching in class with students and connect them with experts in the field of advertising and public relations.
-
But others, particularly those who teach in communications fields, are finding that Twitter and other social media are key devices for students and faculty to include in their professional toolbox.
-
When guest speakers come to class, some students are responsible for publishing the speaker's thoughts on Twitter during the presentation - called "live tweeting."
-
Twitter also allows faculty members to post links to what they're reading. Students who "follow" a professor's tweets can get a look at the news stories that help inform their professor's lectures or connect with the experts their teachers are following.
-
Menck says Twitter has increased the amount of communication she has with students. She gets direct messages from students about the industry or the course. She also "listens" to the conversations students have with each other on Twitter to gauge what they're interested in or what questions they have.
-
While many students use social media, Twitter has not pervaded college campuses the way Facebook has.
-
John Jordan, an associate professor in UWM's communication department, teaches students about social media but doesn't use Facebook or Twitter with students, opting for more formal channels of communication.
"Not all of yourself can be public," he said. "There are notions of professionalism. Just the little back and forth that you have with your friends - you may not want your students to ask you about that."

Ekachai started teaching Marquette's first undergraduate class in social media this semester. She requires students to use the tool for a month. When guest speakers come to class, some students are responsible for publishing the speaker's thoughts on Twitter during the presentation - called "live tweeting."
-
The exercise helps students develop key skills: listening, information-gathering, multitasking and succinct writing. Twitter allows only 140 characters per tweet.

People use Twitter to broadcast bite-sized messages or Web links and to read messages or links posted by others. It can be used as a source of news, to listen to what people in certain groups are talking about, or to communicate with experts or leaders in certain fields.

Ekechai and Menck see it as their responsibility to teach students about Twitter because social media knowledge is becoming essential to their future fields - communications, advertising, public relations and marketing.

Yes, but is it really Twitter that's essential? Or simply the ability to adjust quickly to new technology? Given the recent reports published about the masses of people abandoning Twitter make me question its long-term place in social media.

Twitter is helping these professors build community in their classes in a way that appeals to some members of a Facebook-addicted generation. The phenomenon is certainly not ubiquitous, and some professors have found Twitter doesn't do anything for them in the academic realm.

Gabriela Grosseck"It's a learning curve," McCarthy said. "To me, (Twitter) makes slightly more sense if you have an agenda."
