Bibliography of Select Articles & Resources to Help International Educators Establish a New Media Presence

I compiled the following bibliography for an upcoming presentation I'm doing on social media and international education and I thought I would post these select articles and resources here on IHEC Blog to assist international educators in navigating the social media waters.

Update: To Be Rescheduled Due To Weather Affecting Participation.  One item to put on your radar is a NAFSA Collegial Conversation tomorrow (February 1st) at 2:00pm (EST) entitled “Optimizing Your Use of Social Media, A Live Collegial Conversation with Julie Schwietert Collazo from the Matador Network and Jeramy Johnson from API (Academic Programs International).  You can access the conversation as well as the archived transcript here
