take a picture
add filters (or not)
start a conversation (pose questions)
(hashtag with care)
continue the conversation offline (in class)
SOCIAL MEDIAGOAL
engage students
you cannot control, just steer...
don’t panic, yet keep the panic button handy
let them generate content
allow yourself to
be fun,
have fun,
make fun of yourself
keep it fun
SOCIAL MEDIAGOAL
to add to, not substitute, the learning
SOCIAL MEDIASAFETY
keep it all public and accessible to parents and administrators
let administrators and parents know; ask them to “follow, like or love” you
ask students to use it WITH their parents
when in doubt, stop to ask
Let’s work together!
