In 2009, I began my journey as a connected educator and learned how to use social media and web tools to share my knowledge and materials. I recently presented a webinar about this topic, which you can find on Simple K12. I’ve been very blessed to be able to train teachers and teach students in over 20 countries.

With an array of social media tools at our disposal, every educator should aspire to be the storyteller-in-chief. The other day I delivered a morning presentation to a large group of K-12. Once I started drinking the Twitter Kool-Aid back in 2009 I quickly learned the error of my ways.

Prior to 2009 I basically saw technology as just an add-on and something that could spruce up a lesson. Social media had to be blocked for all and I, for one, wasn’t going to waste any of my precious time using it professionally or personally. We focus deeply on the why, but go to great lengths to detail the how.

Since 2009 I have been a huge believer and advocate for connected learning and the formation of Personal Learning Networks (PLN’s). Now don't get me wrong, I still highly value face-to-face experiences, as there are some natural limits to learning exclusively in a social media vacuum.

Luckily change came in the form of a little blue bird that gave me the kick in the butt that I desperately needed back in 2009. So many of my teachers are making the choice to integrate social media as a learning tool that I just can''t list all of the examples. It was a huge problem for us.

As both news and media types of journalists are content creators, the relationship between professional and citizen is significant for us to consider with our students.

It’s one of the benefits of using social media as teachers – to say “These are positive ways that you can use social media,” and then have those students model and practice it… as opposed to saying, “Don’t do this,” or “Don’t do that,” because that leaves them with the gap of “What should I do, then?”.
