Where Can You Get Information About Your Career?

That is a good question.  

Social media has provided entertainment for our students, but it also provides just in time resources for learning about teaching, grant writing and research.

In our busy lives, career development and goal setting is paramount to keep ahead, but it can be time consuming to take a course or read a book.  Social media provides information in bite sized chunks that will fit into any busy schedule, especially if you are plugged into your mobile device or tablet.

Online Training - YouTube, the time sink for students has many excellent resources that are quick and easy to use.  The Grantsmanship Center provides a five video series on successful grant writing.  Download these videos on your cell or tablet and watch them between classes or while waiting in the grocery check out line.

Online Discussions - LinkedIn has a discussion group for you.  Go to their main page and create an account and complete your profile.  LinkedIn then matches your profile with discussion groups you may be interested in.  Join a couple to learn if that group is right for you.  You also have an option to create your own group.    

Facebook - Like pages in Facebook are for professional use.  Join the UTB Center for Teaching and Learning's Facebook Like page to be updated on what is happening locally and nationally in higher education.
