While most of us are often in contact with social media in our daily lives, it is not a stretch to assume there are those who rarely use it in their classrooms. This workshop will run the 3rd Friday of each month from September 20 to February 21 and introduce Social Media to those who are not yet familiar with it.
Talk by Noriko Yabuki-Soh (Associate Professor, Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, York University) – Sept. 18 (Wed.) 8:00 – 9:00 pm (Eastern Time)
