Stop Ignoring Google+

A Principal's Reflections

NOVEMBER 30, 2014

In case you didn''t know there are thousands of educators and an array of learning communities over at Google+. From my point of view educators become quickly attached to one specific social media tool as their go to source for his/her Personal Learning Network (PLN). Take Twitter for example.

Model What You Expect

A Principal's Reflections

JANUARY 30, 2022

For example, if you want your staff to use a communications tool like Remind regularly to keep students and parents abreast of assignments, then you should be using social media daily to communicate with stakeholders. The bottom line is that if I can only talk about it, then I shouldn't be coaching or leading the professional learning.
