People have a lot of different opinions about social media. Social media can be an incredibly useful source of information and, conversely, can be a source of misinformation. In the latter sense, social media is like other forms of media in that it must be used with care and consideration. So…after that lengthy disclaimer, here’s my bottom line:
Please follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/SOCSD_Supt
My Twitter handle is @SOCSD_Supt and I try to post weekly highlights from around our district that can be searched using the following hashtag #SOCSD2018 (you can search for last year’s moments using the hashtag #SOCSD2017). Nobody can be everywhere at once, but I find that many of our staff have been keeping us all well-informed about all the great activities happening in and around our School District. If this is helpful for me, then I am hopeful that you will also find this tool similarly helpful.
I keep a list of the weekly highlights, or “Moments.” Click on this link to find a list of SOCSD Moments. These “Moments” are compilations of the interesting highlights that our many staff members “tweet out” over the course of the week. In addition to following me on Twitter, you may wish to follow our SOCSD staff also.
If you follow me, I will follow you back. This is yet another way that we can stay in touch using two-way communication. For me, Twitter has been a useful tool to stay connected with my SOCSD colleagues, community, educators from around New York State, and important “thought leaders” in the world of education and learning. As such, it has also served as a useful tool for me to grow as a professional and I am hopeful that others can benefit from my findings as well.
