Julie Bishop, founder of JobHop, encourages teachers to empower students through social media. She argues social media is not going away and teachers owe it to students to show them how to use it wisely. The document provides examples of how teachers can incorporate social media into their lessons, such as having students collaborate on Twitter for school projects, connect with employers, and join career-focused communities. It also suggests social media sites teachers can use, such as Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Pinterest, to help students develop digital portfolios and profiles to attract employers.
