The following themes, issues and trends were discussed at length, indicating the role of social media today in the higher education classroom and its future potential:

• Geo-tagging will be a powerful tool for higher education as it can be used to target locations and get information about those locations, whether students are working on sociology, science, etc. Dr. Kind talked about specific disciplines who have been utlizing it already and great promise of the application. Adam Ostrow, editor in chief of Mashable.com, cited FourSquare’s partnership with Harvard University as an example.
