I thought long and hard about this first blog post and have decided to go with something that I use every day in my professional life as well as my personal life. Just about everyone uses some sort of social network: Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Twitter, to name a few of the most popular. Of course, in the world of education, you can also add Edmodo and My Big Campus, among others. Honestly, if you are not connected to any sort of social network you should consider it. You may have heard nightmare stories but it really isn’t such a scary place.
Admittedly, I am TERRIBLE at keeping up with RSS feeds, following blogs, websites, etc. However, since I am already on Facebook to keep in contact with family and friends I have found that by adding professional connections to something that I ALREADY DO it is much easier to learn what is working for others in education.
Below you will find a list of fabulous organizations and people to follow on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and Twitter. Later we will have posts on making use of the communities in Edmodo and My Big Campus as well.
