In social media, no mater your privacy settings, you’re accountable

for everything you do. Before clicking “send”, ask yourself:

• What do I want to be known for?

-Ernesto Priego, Managing Editor, The Comics Grid

Use social media to break down the walls of the classroom,enable authentic learning, and amplify student voice.

-Catherine Cronin, lecturer, National University of Ireland, Galway

Students are just as happy to work as they are to talk trash.

-Elizabeth Delmatoff, 7th grade teacher, Portland, Oregon

We need to be relevant to students. My ability to

communicate with them (through edmodo) and

the iphone link (app) -- it seems more social,

even though I know it’s business.

- Marcia Simmons, “Perspective from a Highschool

Teacher”
