When one's approach to social media in schools is built upon the assumption that it is bad and that kids are bad - that only bad things can result from its use... the result can be that leaders don't even entertain the possibility that they can leverage these types of learning spaces for meaningful work and learning. They don't want to hear about it, talk about it, or see it anywhere. Often, they have NO meaningful personal experience with it, either.

7 reasons why teachers should network

  1. Meet other teachers with similar interests and problems (communicate and avoid isolation).
  2. Learn with others (teachers cannot know everything, so it’s important to learn from one another) and extend your learning base.
  3. Find great content and share resources. Get connected to the latest news in your area.
  4. Show what you and your students are doing.
  5. Share your experience and problems. Ask for advice when you need it.
  6. Participate in collaborative projects and find partners all over the world.
  7. Improve your professional development and stay engaged in education.
