This morning I read a great article on PBS Media Shift by Audrey Watters entitled " Why Schools Should Stop Banning Cell Phones, and Use Them For Learning." This shift in mindset can be directly attributed to what I have learned from innovative educators in the social media spaces that I now delve into on a routine basis.

No one likes a person who brags excessively and just about all of us have been guilty of this at some point or another. Alina Tugend highlights some of these in an article on the etiquette of bragging: "Susan A. The best way to brag about yourself to others is probably not to brag at all."

Some court teachers with large online followings such as Kayla Delzer, the other featured teacher in the article (and an EdSurge columnist). The tactic is not unique to education.

What is important is that I find what works for me and sometimes a personal learning network pushes people towards “group think”, where I need to find what works for me to become successful, at different points of the day. That self-assessment and reflection is critical to people in our world today. Not at all.

Social media is unlike any other community, if you want to call it that. The most common reason seems to be for personal beliefs, often conflated by a political party. For example, a few people in a person’s circle will post something that runs counter to his or her belief system. They are just gone.
