Social Networking tools have dramatically made a space in the lives of millions of America. Not only are they influencing our students, our personal lives, and our teaching, but they are also influencing our professional lives. LinkedIn is a social networking site that has been connecting individuals people professionally since 2002. LinkedIn.com states that they have 120 million members and this membership is growing rapidly at the pace of two new members per second. I have been a member of LinkedIn for a few years, but not until recently have I began to use it consistently as a way to increase my professional network. Through LinkedIn, I have been able to connect with past colleagues, meet professionals with similar research interests, and connect with professionals that have contributed to my professional development. In addition to connecting individuals professionally, LinkedIn has also become an influential voice in the debate and discussion about America's economical challenges. Watch below to view the town hall meeting with our President Barak Obama, hosted by LinkedIn, Putting America Back to Work.
