Community Review for LinkedIn
My Take
Powerful research tool to get backgrounds on organizations and people. Also functions as an online Rolodex (which my students under 21 have no idea what that means until we discuss...).
How I Use It
As part of the curriculum, my students must: create a profile; link to friends; link to other faculty; link to professionals in their field of interest; join professional ; join personal group; join our class group (Marian University Accounting Student Exchange); post an article; post at least two comments on other student articles.
