13. Opening statements…

14. Why social media? What's the
importance to learning?

15. Do we need guidelines for social
media use by organizations? By
teachers? Why or why not?

16. Should you provide
recommendations for a teacher's
personal use of social media?

17. Should you post student first and
last names on content they create at
school?

18. BYOD. Make a case for, or
against, permitting student-
owned devices in schools.

19. "You Hunt Where the Ducks Are. My
students are on Facebook." Is this a
valid reason for using Facebook as a
tool in school?. Is Facebook a valid
learning platform?

20. How do you get organizational
buy-in for change relating to
disruptive technologies such as
social media and cell phones?

21. Social means social. Should you
engage in two-way communication
on your social media platforms and
comment back to responders?

22. Where is the line between permitting
freedom of experimentation and innovation
for educators and the organizational need
for "consistent/safe/within the boundaries"
tools supplied by the school district?

23. Who are you paying attention to
right now and why?
