Learning Madness: social media

March (Learning) Madness

Lesson 2: Get Social

Let's face it: people love social media! It's a challenge for health educators, but also an opportunity to get food safety messages to people where they are. Whether you're an expert or a novice, these presentations from the Consumer Food Safety Education Conference about online tools and social media strategies will help you either get started or improve your practice:

Save the Date: April 7th - World Health Day
