Introduction
Social media are rapidly changing the way we educate, conduct business, and reach out to others across the globe. As such, we bring both the ‘voices’ of experience and research together, which augment the fields of media, education, and industry along with professional practice.

Because of the advent of social media as a tool for social interaction, more insight is needed into how to harness its power. Although the interpersonal communication needs through social media vary between different fields, this guide will highlight expert experiences and research, while connecting innovation to solutions. By understanding current practices, policies, documentations, trends, needs, and diversified approaches – this book will analyze progress in social media to become more successful through its facilitators.
