Social networking in a professional context
Those who use Twitter - what do you use it for, professionally, and what benefits have you gained from it?
Those who use other social media – what other social media tools do you use to achieve these aims? What benefits are there of this approach?
Those who use traditional approaches – how do you achieve these aims? What benefits are there of this approach?

Principles
Not just to teach digital tools, but also:
an awareness of the ways in which social media and digital technologies can enhance or impact on your work
an understanding of the issues raised by social media and digital technologies, including potential pitfalls, good practice and ways they are changing the profession
an awareness of, and ability to evaluate, new and future digital tools and make informed decisions about your own engagement with them
