Yet, note that I don’t write articles to get the approval of a teacher or another person. I write and share because I am compelled to do so. I consider it a personal calling to stretch myself and others to consider the challenges and opportunities of life and learning in a connected and digital age. I write the article whether ten people read it or ten thousand people read it. As I often draw from the wisdom of Isaac Asimov to point out, Writing is just thinking with my fingers.” I write to think and to share those thoughts with others.
I believe that ideas matter and that, too often today, we turn our ideas into propaganda by only making them visible in their finished and polished formats. I want people to see my ideas in their naked or raw format as well. They are ideas without the lipstick, without being dressed to impress.

Social media is an extremely valuable tool for promoting your marketing content.

To address this, we've put together a comprehensive guide to help you understand the differences between the share and follow buttons for six of the biggest social networks (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest), as well as how to implement them on your website, blog, and other content....

No worries though.

Last year Jason and I proposed to blog daily for 2014. We made it our goal. We didn't quite hit 365 blogs posts, but we did post over 200 which I'm very proud about. But beyond being proud the results we're getting because of it is what really counts. Our business has grown (thank you for being a part of it) and we've seen our traffic soar in the past year. A huge part of this growth is due to the fact that we've been blogging very regularly and been social every day. In 2015 we'll do the same and try to blog even more. Via donhornsby

What social media goals are you setting for 2015?
(From the article): Social media helps your blog get found and helps you drive even more traffic than the blog could do on it's own. Of course for it to truly work you need to have a blog. Without a blog you will be sharing other people's content, which of course is good, but you won't be driving the traffic to your site, you'll be driving it to someone else's. Social media also helps you build relationships. The stronger those online relationships are, the more likely that person will click on the links you share and even share your blog posts themselves. See how that works. :)

At the same time, they describe the unique challenges of teaching writing in the digital age, including the “creep” of informal style into formal writing assignments and the need to better educate students about issues such as plagiarism and fair use.
