To Tweet or Not To Tweet…That is the Question. While it may initially feel like a big investment of time, social media can open doors, leverage time, and build support. Social media can help us learn, advocate, and share innovations in learning. Minda Corso, Foundation for Excellence in Education, Jenna Schuette Talbot, Whiteboard Advisors and Caroline from Team Getting Smart covered learning, impact, leadership and brand building strategies for social media. Participants shared their experiences with social media as groups worked to identify best practices and key benefits to each approach. Check out #edsocial for updates from the session.
