“By understanding how students may be positively using these
networking technologies in their daily lives and where the as yet
unrecognized educational opportunities are, we can help make
schools even more relevant, connected and meaningful to kids."

Why use Facebook?

“The main reason is Facebook has 500
million+ users. This is a tool that most
parents know how to use and use on a
consistent basis.

Why struggle to make parents visit your
website or blog when you can meet them
in a place they already visit online?”

School as a Place to Develop Virtual Social Skills

...in June 2011,
Consumer Reports
estimated that about
7.5 million people who
use Facebook are
younger than 13.

"For some teens and
tweens, social media
is the primary way
they interact socially,
rather than at the mall
or a friend's house.

With over 67 million kids using social media
(e.g. Facebook), can we afford to remain silent
or ignore these social media as educators?

Those who cannot claim computers
as their own tool for exploring the
world never grasp the power of
technology...

They are controlled by technology as
adults--just [they were]...controlled
[by] them as students.

is this the kind of behavior to showcase
via social media?

Employers are watching what you do on social
networks....

and, so are others....


SB407 grants exemption from punishment for those who receive a sext
and either report or destroy it within 48 hours. Effective September 1,
individuals found sexting could be charged with a misdemeanor and
required to enroll in an educational program about sexting’s criminal,
emotional and psychological damages, including cyberbullying.

Social media use can be positive...but we have to decide
how we, as educators, are going to use it and get support
from our organization.

Five Fundamental Beliefs

• Every student can learn and
achieve at high levels.
• We are responsible for the

• We are responsible for the

create.

educators via #EdChat on Twitter.

Use ICEROCKET.com Twitter search to ﬁnd your favorite hashtags.

Notice the RSS feed available...blend that into your Moodle or wiki.

showcase Twitter or Facebook content on your
district Moodle or wiki.

Hashtag search
Below is a list of my tweets. Another Hashtag search

This could be a hashtag you
are using with your students
or other professionals to share
content.
This is where anyone who has
ever "retweeted" content I've Tip: Be sure to check ﬁrst that
shared will appear. the hashtag isn't being used
by someone else already!

Tip #4 - Take advantage of tools like Hootsuite.com
and Tweetdeck.com to keep personal and work
accounts separate from each other.

Tip #5 - If determined to use social media with your
students, check out what others are doing first and
then educate your supervisor.
