This document discusses using social media for adult educators. It covers how blogs, Twitter, podcasts and social networks can be used in education. Blogs allow learners and instructors to post content and comments. Twitter is proposed as an experiment where learners tweet glossary terms and discussion points. Podcasts provide additional audio and video resources that can be assigned or used for professional development. Finally, social networks like Ning allow creating online communities for learning.
