In his book, The New Rules of Marketing & PR , David Meerman Scott perhaps captures why a number of us so heavily engage in using social media: “ It’s fun to blog and tweet, and it makes you feel good to get your ideas out into the world.” The best way to do this is to optimize your social media presence as an educator.

Social media is unlike any other community, if you want to call it that. The most common reason seems to be for personal beliefs, often conflated by a political party.
