It is crucial that assessment practices be guided by sound principles to insure that they are valid, fair, and appropriate to the context and purposes for which they designed. Writing Assessment: A Position Statement aims to provide that guidance. https://t.co/1UKw20RfZ7

"How can we use social media ethically as promoters of social justice?" #iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019

[Megan Keaton @meganfire]

How do our social media posts connect to our physical spaces? How do they function as part of the writing center? #iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019

[Megan Keaton @meganfire]

How can we use social media as a conversational space instead of just an information sharing space? #iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019

[Megan Keaton @meganfire]

How are writing centers part of campus? How does our social media display that? #iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019

[Megan Keaton @meganfire]

We tend to talk about Twitter and Facebook. What about the others? Also, social media platforms are often considered in isolation. How do platforms work together? #iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019

[Megan Keaton @meganfire]

We are talking about it though. Some places:
Blogs (Marciniak, Shapiro, Jacobs, Fandel)
Directories ("Social Media Directory" San Jose State's blog directory)
Conference presentations (27 national conference presentations from 2010-2018)

Share events on your social media that are hosted by a variety of organizations and support services across campus. #iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019

[Megan Keaton @meganfire]

Focus the social media more on what the student identity is and what students are doing. Think about how to display your WC staff interacting in ways that the student body does. #iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019

[Megan Keaton @meganfire]

When using social media for the WC, think about who the students are, where they are, and what they need. Who are you showing? What are you showing them doing?#iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019

[Megan Keaton @meganfire]

It is helpful that whoever runs the social media is connected to the university. #iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019

How does your university's marketing/branding requirements influence (or not) your WC's social media use? #iwcancptw19 #iwcancptw19P3 #iwca2019
