If you aren't a part of the #slpeeps community on Twitter, following SLP related boards on pinterest, or one of the many SLP facebook groups, it's definitely something you should consider participating in. These social media tools connect you with SLPs and SLP students all over the country as well as all over the world.
Here is a blog hop I found that sums up all of the benefits of joining this vast online community of SLPeeps: Blog Hop: Essential Social Media Tools for SLPs and you can "hop" to other posts about the different social media platforms that SLPs can use. I'm starting you off with Twitter, which is a personal favorite. Facebook

SLP and the Great Dysphagia Search
It's back to class time and today I start my dysphagia class. Since I am leaning more towards the medical side of SLP, this is a key class and I can't wait to learn more about it. We have to track down a VFSS (videofluoroscopic swallow study) observation site and I've already hit the ground running with about 7 emails sent out so far, phone calls are next.
I saw a VFSS during my post-bacc SLP job shadowing and it was pretty interesting. Too bad I wasn't closer to that observation site or I'd just go back there!
Here's to hoping I can pin down a site... let another search begin! :)
**UPDATE
The above SLP I observed a VFSS with (and who also graduated from EMU) just emailed me a contact who is willing to let me observe! She is a ROCKSTAR!!
