Why I’m Here @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

If you don’t know... ...ask. Last September I created a short survey targeting middle school, high school and college students. I used Facebook and Twitter to share the survey and request participation. This is what I learned. @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

No Clue ? Yes and Yes but I don’t know I know what it is what it is @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

Q. Have you ever had a "stranger danger" or "internet safety" class in school? What grade? How long was the class? Did you learn anything you didn't already know? “in 8th grade there was a seminar we went to about internet safety, but it was optional and I don’t remember it very well.” “No. We had a police ofﬁcer come into my 3rd grade class, and he vaguely mentioned the internet, since it wasn't that big at the time.” “yes, in elementary school. i don't remember the class, and all the stuff we learned was stuff i already knew.” “I don't think we have a class like that in my school.” @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

Q. If you could learn more about how to really use Facebook and MySpace as a class in school, would you want to take it? Yes! Yes! “i am on facebook so much, i think Yes! “Yes!” i could actually TEACH that “possibly. i probably wouldn't take it as an elective though but i wouldn't mind it if it was mandatory” “What is there to even talk about, i mean people like me that have had these things for years already know everything we need to know about it.” @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

Yeah but... Never thought about it No Maybe @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

#FAIL So our kids are using these tools, online for hours every day, and they are pretty sure that what they are doing will matter in ten years, might effect college, and may effect their job... ...but no one is taking responsibility to teach them? @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

“What we have here, is a failure to communicate” @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

“This new media environment can be enormously disruptive to our current teaching methods and philosophies. As we increasingly move toward an environment of instant and inﬁnite information, it becomes less important for students to know, memorize, or recall information, and more important for them to be able to ﬁnd, sort, analyze, share, discuss, critique, and create information. They need to move from being simply knowledgeable to being knowledge-able.” Michael Wesch http://www.academiccommons.org/commons/essay/knowledgable-knowledge-able @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

“Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the conﬁdent it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.” -King Whitney, Jr. @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

Do you even speak my language? If you’re not using these tools you’re not speaking the right language - you’re a little like a ﬁrst year ESL student in American Lit Honors @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

On the One Side.. If you do connect with students online then you If you let the will appear more walls down and approachable in allow the students person. to see everything then you’ve lost control. @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

You’re gonna need 4P’s Plan Policy Privacy Participation @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

I come bearing gifts from Twitter users @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

I come bearing gifts from Twitter users WKUAdmissions @KSL it's the simple act of reaching out to students where they are; 73% on sm sites updating daily. Many profs think it's just a trend. WKUAdmissions @KSL, social media is not just a trend & they should dedicate human & ﬁnancial resources to regularly maintaining a presence. @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

I come bearing gifts from Twitter users @SocialMediaInEd @KSL Understand that they need to proactive in integrating social media into the classroom. @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

I come bearing gifts from Twitter users @SocialMediaInEd @KSL That the way people communicate and obtain information is changing, we HAVE to consider and explore new ways to change with it. #edchat @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

I come bearing gifts from Twitter users @cytochromec @KSL the future of ed is personalized/informal learning. institutions role will be to track and mentor instead of provide info @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

I come bearing gifts from Twitter users @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

Recap of the Problem Do you believe we have a problem? We can’t lead if we don’t know where we’re going ... you must embrace Social Media -its more operations than marketing folks. We need to understand that the entire way we’ve gone about sharing and communicating has shifted We must be proactive and protective of our own and our kids’ personal brands @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

The Best Thing That Happened to Me as an Educator Last Year - The Equity Equation @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

The Equity Equation “Creating an equity equation was more an exercise in thinking outside of the box and ﬁnding new ways to research than an exercise in accuracy. ” @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

Innovate and Recommend @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

Innovate and Recommend “I have several recommendations for the school that can all be summed up in one word: teach. Teach the faculty and staff members (especially the account administrations) about social media. Teach them how to use social networking sites and how valuable using them can be when they are used correctly. “ @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

Innovate and Recommend @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

I & R Cont. @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

I & R Cont. “...it should be a requirement for every student to take a class on social media. Half of the battle on Facebook could be avoided if students understood that everything they say and do online is visible to everyone, meaning the school and potential employers. At this point in time graduates are having a hard time getting jobs because there are so many people graduating. Making yourself stand out in any way possible will give you a an advantage over all of the other graduate, and the way to do that is to create an online presence and a personal brand.” @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078

The Future Imagine this... collective education collaborative learning real demonstration of learned skills everyone opts-in to have an informed opinion @KSL www.aleuromedia.com KSLeBlanc 603.233.5078
