Social Media Best Practices for Law Schools – Join the Discussion!
Jul 7th, 2009 | By Laura Bergus | Category: Featured, Law School, Social Media, Social Networking
If you have been following along on my journey of trying to get my law school to get real about advising students on social media, you may have seen earlier posts – Social Media Best Practices for Law Schools, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and “The Website“. Now I’m hoping you will take the next step and join in a real, policy-level discussion about what law schools can and should be doing in using or teaching social media for:
- Building inter-school professional contacts
- Advising students on creating a safe and positive online identity
- Promoting the school to prospective students, current students, alumni, donors and the public at large
- Connecting faculty and students in approachable, effective ways
- Telling employers where and how to look for accurate information about law students and law grads online
- Improving scholarship and publishing outlets
- Recruiting new students, staff and faculty
Anyone who has an interest in the future of law schools and legal education is invited to speak up now at http://socialmediabestpractices.org. You can also provide your input by filling out this five-minute survey, compiled by the Center for Computer Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI). Thanks and let me know what you think about all of this!
