Photo from LSE Library on Flickr Most of the students starting university at the end of summer 2017 were born around the turn of the century. They will have no memories of the 20th century, which just happens to be the same century their lecturers were born and educated within. It's a sobering thought. Unported License.

Photo by Kevin Harber on Flickr Watching my colleagues from around the UK posting images of themselves with their new cohorts of students gives me mixed feelings. Lecturing at a university can appear glamorous. But behind the scenes, there are a thousand and one other jobs lecturers must do just to keep their heads above water.

If I wanted to hide behind technology, I would stay at home, and use my laptop and ''death by PowerPoint'' to lecture to my students from a safe distance. During the lectures, I encourage students to interact with each other and the speakers by using Twitter as a backchannel. Twitter continues to be a versatile tool for good pedagogy.

Here are five key things to remember: 1) Lectures. When you're there, don't look as though you're bored in lectures and seminars (even if you are). Not all lectures are engaging - even though they should be! - Your lecturer/professor is not your mate, so don't treat them as though they are. 3) Friends.

I like to go off road and explore, and I often find myself down some backstreet in a city I've never visited before, chatting to locals or taking photos of strange new sights. Beaten tracks are too 'safe' and restrictive for me. I can't help it. I have never been comfortable when I'm confined. Unported License.

I''m very fortunate to be the module leader of this presentation, and although it was initially a daunting prospect to manage a final year module for 200 students and an excellent team of around 15 lecturers and seminar leaders, I''m really warming to the task. More on the plans for this in a later communication. Unported License.
