Why is the DOE issuing guidance regarding social media?
“Social media technology offers many educational benefits. The DOE is
issuing this guidance to provide recommended practices for employees to take
advantage of this technology in a manner that encourages professionalism,
responsibility, safety, and awareness. In addition, these Guidelines provide
recommended best practices for employees who use social media for personal
communications.”

“The New York City Department of Education (DOE) works to provide all
students with access to an education that prepares them to succeed in college
and careers. Part of being a successful citizen is understanding that social
media and digital communication are essential parts of our world today. It
is important to recognize that access to information can result in tremendous
advantages, but it can also create new responsibilities of which students should
be aware.”

47. “365 2009” by JSFauxtaugraphy http://www.flickr.com/photos/picsfromjos/sets/72157612006081437
Hey,
Im Joseph Stevenson... I'm 19 years
old... I wouldnt mind being a
comercial photographer someday, but
It looks like i'll be an automotive
engineer. Seems legit.
This 365 I've been doing for the past
year has helped me so much. It has
kept me grounded when I was down,
or off the walls. Whenever I needed
something to cheer me up, I'll
probably just look at a random day of
the year, and remember that day and
reminisce. I realize that these are the
best years that anyone could have in
their life. Well.. All I can say is that I
love photography, love making
friends, and love talking to people
about things.

"As a Champion of Change, I’m going to champion one here. My challenge:
make a commitment to get connected, if you aren’t already. Join the vibrant library
community on Twitter or Google Plus. Most of us are singletons in our jobs. Join to
learn new teaching ideas, discover new books, and better understand the tools your
students use."
