STP Social Media Initiatives


The Society for the Teaching of Psychology is proud to announce several social media initiatives to help you stay connected to the world of teaching psychology.

Twitter
The Society for the Teaching of Psychology Twitter account (@APADiv2STP) will be used to publicize STP news and initiatives (those Tweets with a #STP hashtag). In doing so, information may be cross-posted from the TeachPsych listserv and STP blog. A secondary purpose will be to share useful resources and tools for teachers of psychology (those Tweets with a #TeachPsych hashtag). Also in store for the Twitterverse come June:
#ToPTuesdays and #ToPIXThursdays. A different Teaching of Psychology article will be profiled and linked on Tuesdays. On Thursdays, find out about recent ToPIX updates and particularly useful resources on the wiki. For those of you attending national and regional teaching conferences, be sure to follow the STP Twitter for live updates from the conference. If you are interested in helping, contact Jeremy Houska at twitter@teachpsych.org.

If you are on Twitter, go ahead and follow us. We'll follow you back.
