  1. Al Leibman, Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC, part of CUNY), United States

Abstract: Often, students are more savvy and skillful with technology and social media platforms than their instructors. Through authentic and impactful fieldwork assignments, we can honor and further develop their existing social-media skill sets by having them integrate text, photography and videography to showcase their field-work accomplishments. This approach also helps them tap into their innate desire for creative self-expression, which can be tightly integrated into their academic assignments.
