An added bonus is that there are so many free tools such as Twitter, Google+, blogs, Facebook, and Remind that are free for all to use. Expanded access to learning - In my case digital communications opened my eyes to new and more powerful ways to learn. Leaders have the power to shape the culture of schools.

But for me real satisfaction comes from making “connections” with other educators and growing my personal learning network. Making personal network connections to learn and interact with other educators is both personally and professionally satisfying, and this is best done when we do so as real people.

Learning how to behave online responsibly and safely—a concept known as digital citizenship—requires access to social media tools in schools, they note. They also invite in experts into the Facebook groups who can guide dialog or answer student questions. We must keep learning first. We cannot be governed by fear.

You could see where we might place formal learning using a VLE, or where students might meet to chat using Facebook, for example.
