Three steps are outlined for library associations to effectively use social media:
1. Plan meetings and discussions with team members and committees to strategize social media use while avoiding overplanning.
2. Implement social media using a "just do it" approach, view platforms as evolving conversations, start small, research best practices, and post daily using reminders.
3. Stay engaged by following technology news, learning terminology, watching tutorial videos, and checking recommended blogs and sites for updates.

Blogger is a blogging platform that allows users to easily create and publish weblogs or blogs. Blogs are webpages consisting of posts that are displayed in reverse chronological order. Blogger allows users to create rich multimedia posts with text, images, videos and links. Teachers and students can use Blogger for a variety of educational purposes like keeping learning journals, sharing class resources and reflections, and creating digital archives of student work and interviews. Some example classroom uses described are having elementary students post reading activity ideas, middle school students review and discuss books, and high school students conduct interviews with seniors and archive them on a blog.
Wikis: Do They Need Usability Engineering?Martin Ebner
This document discusses wikis and their usability in education. It describes early wiki implementations and studies conducted using wikis for educational purposes. The studies found that student participation was low when participation was voluntary but increased when an article contribution was required. Overall, the document concludes that future work with wikis in education needs to increasingly address their usability to improve student motivation and success.

Google+ is well organized for groups, contacts, and sharing links and files. The author notes finding Google Classroom clunky compared to Google Docs for sharing course content. Overall social media provides valuable professional development for teachers though the large amount of available information can be challenging.
Facebook is one of the most popular sites on the Internet and people are posting everything from baby pictures to their uttermost thoughts. Unfortunately, the privacy settings on the popular networking site are confusing. Often people are sharing what they think is private. Learn how the Facebook privacy settings work and how to explain them to users.
Facebook collects extensive personal data on its users through their activities and interactions on the platform. This "digital dossier" is used to target personalized ads and content to users. While Facebook aims to create an open environment for sharing, some argue this level of data collection and use impacts individual privacy and autonomy. There is an ongoing debate around balancing user rights, platform policies, and responsibilities in the online space.
Facebook's privacy policy outlines how the social network collects and uses personal information from its users. It explains that Facebook collects data from user profiles, messages, photos and videos to customize ads and services. The policy also allows Facebook to share some user information with third parties and for legal reasons.
You, online: Identity, Privacy, and the FutureAbhay Agarwal
In the current landscape of media and communication, our world is undergoing immense and rapid transformations in the breadth, and format of how we interconnect. At the same time, it is difficult for even the most technically adept to fully comprehend the scope of these projects. This talk is a musing on the ideas behind online identity and mass communication in the 21st century. It intends to partially unravel the mystery behind networked social identity, as well as provide the tools for even the technically-disinclined to understand the possibilities for control, surveillance, freedom, and liberated identity within this new topology.
Some included topics:
* Online surveillance, and how deleting your Facebook isn’t enough
* Big Data analytics: why your data is worth money, and the (im)possibility of privacy
* Theories and Paradoxes in a hyper-connected future
* Alternative internets, (or darkness) and what they represent.
This document presents a proposal to enhance RFID privacy and security through location sensing methods. It aims to design location-aware secure RFID schemes using location information. Specifically, it proposes two defense mechanisms: 1) using location to design selective unlocking mechanisms for tags, and 2) using location for secure transaction verification to prevent unauthorized reading and relay attacks. The advantages of this approach include stronger security without requiring additional devices or user involvement.
