Abstract
As more communication happens in formats online, including on social media sites, lawyers need to be comfortable and effective using this form of communication professionally. Thus, it is our obligation as professors to prepare them for this, using social media ourselves as part of the coursework we expect of students. But more than preparing students for the professional world, using social media in the classroom offers us an opportunity to facilitate learning of other content in the course. Having students participate in a social media platform enables professors to monitor student comprehension and progress, it encourages reticent students to participate, and it promotes interaction among students and learning among peers.
