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”
