2.  SOCIAL MEDIA has become quickly AN ESSENTIAL TOOL for
businesses to get their brands out there among the masses.
 Many companies both large and small are jumping onto the
bandwagon with reckless abandon, often to mixed results.
So how do you make the most of your social media presence?
The key is in what platforms you choose to adopt.
 Once you know what type of audience you want to attract for your
business, you’ll be able to weigh the pros and cons and select a
platform that’s right for you.

3.  Social media is such a PREVALENT PART OF MODERN SOCIETY
especially for kids and teens.
 Social media sites provide an avenue for students to easily contact
one another regarding school projects, group assignments or for
help on homework assignments.
 Share resources quickly when using social media in the classroom.
 With so many different social media options out there, each one
offers unique advantages and drawbacks.

4. WHY IS SOCIAL LEARNING IMPORTANT?
 90% of college students visit social networking sites on a
regular basis.
 Social learning is learners learning from each other .
 Today's students want to document their feelings and insights
in a highly timely manner.
 Social learning can increase comprehension of material and
create new channels for students to learn.

5. Do not just use social media for the sake of it!
 We’re going to spend just a short amount of time explaining the tool
and focus more on ways to use them for learning activities. If you want
help on the technical aspects, please set up a one-on-one training.
 The LEARNING OBJECTIVE IS MOST IMPORTANT. Social media is a tool
to help teach a concept so be sure to not lose sight of the learning for
the cool factor.
 Choose 1 tool to start and make it purposeful.

6. IMPACTS of Social Networking
 E-learning and ‘edtech’ are currently huge buzzwords in education, as the
tidal wave of the internet and the digital revolution, already firmly
ensconced in our homes and businesses, marches voraciously on into our
classrooms and universities.
 From class blogs and school e-twinning schemes to scholastic ‘apps’ and
online courses, education is going electronic.

7. The use of social media in education has been particularly
SUCCESSFUL IN ENGAGING AND EXCITING YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT
LEARNING, allowing them to share and play with their peers and to
use sites like Myspace and Facebook to set up and collaborate on
projects in an exciting and immediate forum.

8. People’s life
 It is a fact that, it helps us to create real-world relationships.
INCREASED COMMUNICATION AMONG INDIVIDUAL HELPS TO KEEP
PEOPLE SOCIALLY ACTIVE. But social media has made some negative
impact in personal life and relationship in many ways.
 People use social media as a number one communication tool to
keep in touch with friends and relatives.
 Surely social media increases the communication but we neglect the
fact that it has reduced the real world communication to the
minimum and this AFFECTS THE REAL LIFE RELATIONSHIP BADLY.

9.  Professional life of fun, but they can also have more serious uses and
consequences than one million.
 LinkedIn allow you to interact with other professionals and mentors in your
field, other sites like MySpace and Facebook which are intended purely for
social interaction, can also have an EFFECT ON YOUR JOB HUNT AND
CAREER.
 Employers are using the advent of the Internet and social networking sites
more and more as they consider potential job candidates.

11. Professional networking: Do social networking sites benefit career
networking?
 Yes :
Social networking sites create great opportunities for
professional networking.Since "it's not what you know, but who you
know", this is very important.
Social networking sites enable individuals to move toward
making face-to-face meetings: Social networking sites are a starting
place for face-to-face meetings between professionals.
 No :
Social networking sites do not allow for trusting professional
relationships to be established. Face-to-face conversations and
hand-shakes are still the most important element of sound
professional networking.

12. TOP 3 SOCIAL
NETWORKING SITES
1. Facebook
2. Twitter
3. LinkedIn

13. Facebook
Facebook is the WORLD'S LARGEST SOCIAL
NETWORK, with more than 900 million users.
People mainly use it to connect with important
people in their life.

14. Why Facebook so popular
Facebook has helped a lot to cut down the physical boundaries, and it has
its benefits for personal or for business purposes.
Facebook has helped a lot to create a personal brand for many individuals
and for businesses. Moreover, it’s a major source of entertainment for
people around the globe.
With the Facebook TRANSLATION FEATURE, you will never miss out on
connecting with Facebook users from different countries and with people
who speaks different languages.

16. Twitter
 Twitter allows you to post your ideas in just 140 characters
 Letters, numbers, symbols, punctuation and spaces all count as
characters on Twitter.
 What all of this means is, you have to be concise. You have to know
exactly what you want to say, and say it in as few words as possible.
Twitter has approximately 225 million users and rapidly growing
About 200 million tweets are sent each day.
In January of 2009, users sent two million Tweets a day, and in 2010, they posted 65
million a day.
There are one million registered twitter apps as of July 11,2011.
These aren’t small numbers. Twitter is going strong and I don’t see its popularity
going down anytime soon.

17. Why is Twitter so popular?
You express your thoughts: On twitter, you feel like someone listens to you
– you have an audience. People tweet whatever crosses their mind – opinions,
comments, jokes, questions and other people respond to it. TWITTER HAS
SOMEWHAT BECOME AN ONLINE DIARY for some, too. I think one of the
reasons why twitter is popular because it gives you a platform to express
yourself
Celebrities: Celebrities are the reason why thousands of people join twitter.
‘Beliebers’, ‘Little monsters’ etc take over trending topics very often. Celeb
tweets even make it to your televisions as news. There’s no denying the fact
that twitter gains some of its popularity from celebrities.
Traffic to blogs/websites: Finally, twitter brings traffic. Tons of it.Twitter can
help a blogpost go viral too.

online resume

Socialnet.com and PayPal. Since then the company has expanded its networking across the
