Stakeholders

There are many people that this initiative would affect. As you move forward, assign each group member a stakeholder to focus on. You should then conduct your research by thinking about this topic from their point of view. 

Things to keep in mind:

  • What are some pros and cons of students using social media for this person?
  • What might this person gain or lose if students start using social media?

Twitter

Here is a great video describing Twitter. Videos like these may prove assistance to you while you pursue the social media tool of your choice. We will be "tweeting" throughout this project to provide updates on your group's progress, so if you've never used Twitter now would be the time to familarize yourself.
