This blog explores topics related to the intersections of social media, teaching/learning, ethics, writing and communication programs. I will share classroom successes and the failed moments that must be reworked, as well as research updates.
When I defended my dissertation several years ago, a committee member remarked that he liked the idea of sending me back into a communication program with my doctoral degree in higher education. I like my intersection between the two overarching interests, and will share what I have learned, and am learning, along the way.
Research and teaching highlights from my CV are included on this blog, and I encourage you to send me a note at
skmaben@gmail.com. For now, I want to give a few resources with acronyms, of course!
