Special Release: From Distracted To Engaged: Jon-Stephen Stansel’s Career-Making Tactic

In 2008, Jon-Stephen Stansel was teaching English and noticed his students would pay more attention to their phones than the lecture. He wanted to reach them where they were, so he started trying to find ways to make their phones and social media a productive part of their classes. The rest is history. Today we know Jon-Stephen as THE social media authority in higher education, and it all started with a simple tactic. Listen to this conversation to see how his ingenious idea 15 years ago led him to where he is today.
