The New York City Department of Education has come a long way since 2012 when I took a risk and criticized the city's conservative approach to social media. It wasn't long after that I was brought on to help New York City schools embrace social media for teaching and learning. Working in isolation benefits no one.

Technology, most specifically social media, has flattened the world. Just because something sounds good on Twitter and during a keynote or looks good on Pinterest and Instagram does not mean whatever is being promoted will work. This led me to pose a question on Twitter, asking educators to share their particular challenges.
