jgvanides| December 11, 2012

The New Media Consortium has been hosting a Social Media Workshop for educators, and it’s culminating in a friendly challenge to see who can gather the most “likes” in 24 hours. Want to help an HP Catalyst project team win $500?

Here’s how it works:

From December 3-14, each of the 10 participating teams will have one 24 hour period to attract Facebook “likes”. Today, the “baton” is in the hands of:

St. Thomas Aquinas College

If you like their project, then go ahead and “like” their Facebook page… and if you REALLY like their work, invite your friends and colleagues to “like” their Facebook page as well!
