How do you define social media?
• Wikipedia
– Social media includes web-based and mobile based technologies which are used to turn communication into interactive dialogue between organizations, communities, and individuals.
• Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein
– “a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content.” Social media is ubiquitously accessible, and enabled by scalable communication techniques.
Two definitions

Why pick on students?
• Peer reviews
• Word of mouth
• Predictability
• Noel-Levitz: “The Communication Expectations of College-Bound High School Students” 2012
