| Description | | A recent survey showed that 61 percent of teachers, principals, and librarians are active in at least one social media space. Many use those spaces for professional development. What's frustrating—particularly to many younger teachers—is that the same social media spaces widely embraced outside schools are routinely blocked within schools by district firewalls.
In this workshop participants will explore how social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) can be used in schools as effective and quick communication tools with parents and the community as well as professional resources for educators. Similarly we’ll explore how these same tools can be utilized by students for educational purposes. |
