When principals hear the words Twitter and Facebook they cringe. This is true, in many cases, when these tools are used for personal use. Quite simply, social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook have improved my effectiveness and efficiency as an educational leader.

This is not to say that they are unwilling to learn or embrace significant change in this area.

Change: We can no longer settle for learning environments that are stagnant, students are not challenged to be creative, critical thinkers, and free technology is blocked as a result of misinformation and/or philosophical differences. This exposure is directly correlated to my use of social media and networking tools.
