A Principal's Reflections

DECEMBER 21, 2011

As I learned from my students, many more people use the social media tool, Facebook, than use Twitter. Principals and schools should embrace Twitter, and social media in general.

If I was graded I would have probably received an A for running my school where strict rules had to be followed by students, mobile devices banned, and all social media blocked. It was then in 2009 that I possibly took the greatest risk of my young administrative career. Obviously, not much at the time.
