There are so many reasons why I believe that it is imperative that educators and leaders in education be involved in social media, in one form or another. It really has been some of the best learning (if not the best) I have done in my almost 20-year education career!

Slightly Overwhelmed
With September over the craziness is supposed to subside. Correct? Not so much around here. I am involved in an online project with George Couros (@gcouros) called School Administrator Virtual Mentorship Program (#SAVMP).

I’ve been playing with a new-to-me web-based app called Piktochart. It can be used to make infographics. Here is my first attempt. I thought I would use it instead of doing a “regular” blog post on a topic I was wanting to write about. So here it is. Let me know what you think. ThanksContinue reading “Supporting Social Media”
It’s Not Just Chance
I am, once again, amazed by the impact of being a connected educator! Being connected provides many opportunities one would not think possible.

Transformation with @gcouros
This past Tuesday, March 6, the administrators in our district had our second “Digital Discovery” session. During each session, we learn about different 21st Century Learning tools/strategies or ideas. This session was all about Social Media. There were over 180 administrators who came to our event, excited to be together, but a bit apprehensive aboutContinue reading “Transformation with @gcouros”
Twitter for Newbies
Having been on Twitter for almost 7 months now, I am still amazed at the professional development I experience on a daily basis from people on Twitter. Some days, I only spend 10 minutes on Twitter in the morning, but even in that time, I still learn a great deal! There are always gems thatContinue reading “Twitter for Newbies”
