Ways to use social media on your next field trip

I always love to find new ways to use technology and especially love creative ways such as taking technology on field trips.  I found an interesting article that described 5 easy ways to integrate technology on the go.  1. Get social to create enthusiasm.  Before the trip, check out the place with twitter, facebook, instagram and blog about it.  2. Use hashtags.  Pick a hashtag for your trip and use it for capturing the cool things you'll find to share.  3. Thinglink.  Before going, print out a map and as you go through the trip, take pictures and videos.  These can become touchpoints that can be posted.  4. Yelp review.  Rather than writing a traditional report, write a Yelp review of your trip.  5. Sketching for connecting with a community.  use a sketching app like Paper to capture moments and share them on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, or other social media.  There are many more ways to integrate technology on your field trips, but most of all have fun and get the message out there!!!
