54 Free Tools for Teaching Digital and Social Media Marketing


54 Free or Free Trial tools for Teaching Digital and Social Media Marketing 


Thanks to Jeannine Morber, Stevenson University, jmorber@stevenson.edu for putting together this comprehensive list of free resources for teaching this important material.  We all wonder where to find resources and this comprehensive list is surely a winner. I first met Jeannine at the September MMA Educator's conference when we were teaching our workshop on teaching digital marketing. It rapidly became clear that Jeannine's work at Stevenson is leading edge.  We hope you enjoy this list.
