Kidwai, S. (2010). How to Mobilize Students Using Social Media. Techniques: Connecting Education & Careers,85(3), 8-9.
Kidwai examines how beneficial it would be if schools started using social media for advocacy. She explains how the evolving nature of technology can work hand in hand with educational institutions, making social media a powerful advocacy tool for education. She indicates how the use of social media tools from various schools, have gained recognition from a number of campaigns. For instance in 2009 students across the country successfully used social media to advocate educational issues; organization like U.S. student Association (USSA) helped raise awareness of the SAFRA bill--budget issues in California. All in all, using social media as an advocacy tool can ultimately help educate students and help gain support for important causes to succeed.
