to ? How do I get started with
? If my students use will it
cause ? If our teachers
will they then ?
When is better than to

4. What is a poke (or 4square) ? How can I use it
to engage parents? How do I get started with
Twitter? If my students use YouTube will it
cause IT headaches? If our teachers pin to
Pinterest will they then neglect their families?
When is Skype better than email to
contact people? Is Farmville a fad? What are
the ramifications if we don’t use Instagram?
What’s best for creating community ?

Learning to manage our time is
as critical to success as how
we learn to waste it. Time management takes practice.
6. Isn’t giving everyone an
opportunity to post whatever
they want like handing out
spray cans for them to put

#NASSP13

7. Can’t students harm their
reputations permanently by
using social media?

Recruiters who view social
sharing look to reduce risk,
not popularity. Those who don’t yet, will.
8. How can we make sure
people are only doing their
work?
#NASSP13
People will do other things. And they will remain engaged.

Give people permission, a
path clear of obstacles,
and they will participate. Slowly at first.
10. How do you feel about social tools? What are your teachers currently
doing with social tools? Your

students? Parents?
Get clear. Get informed. Get ideating. Get going.
What project that you’re personally Demonstrate your interest in being
responsible for would benefit from at the table by listening, learning
being augmented by social tools? and participating actively.
12. We are better together, connected.
