Positive Comments are Contagious!
Share a story
Our Students are NOT statistics - they’re stories
waiting to be shared!
Pick ONE, create a school account, and allow many
to share your story!
RememberYou are the Storyteller-in-
chief at your school district!
Branding
Nobody knows what happens in our schools better than us.
____________ Public School
70% of American Households are
using Social Media in some form.
Reactive Communication...
Word of Mouth
You are taking a RISK because you don’t know if your message is being delivered!
Proactive Communication...
What happens daily in your
school should NOT be the best
kept secret in town!
1. What is the most amazing thing about your school?
2. If you had to make a one minute commercial about your school district what would it say?
Professional Growth &
Development
The Traditional Teacher... The teacher is given curriculum, materials, content,and media.
Communication is between
families and faculty
The Connected Teacher...

Non-Traditional & Informal LearningTHINK PROCESS, NOT PRODUCT!
Professional Learning Networks...
A network of professionals that is constantly supplying resources
through digital media.
Knowledge is not simply received, but rather shared and exchanged.
Educator Resources for Expanding their PLN:
Your Professional Learning Network is like a spigot that
you can turn on and off when you need it! You
control the strength of the flow.

Learning

Stop teaching about
technology and simply teach WITH
technology!
