[Air-L] Understanding Social Media

[Marj Kibby]

Hi Kayla,

Currently developing a similar course, I found "Social Media" too broad and meaningless in developing course topics.
So I've ended up with things like:

Twitter in politics
Facebook in organisations
Wikis and collaborative creation
Social tagging and music classification

Cheers,
Marj
