Social media facilitates communication...but
how could we use it in schools?

Why use Facebook?

“The main reason is Facebook has 500
million+ users. This is a tool that most
parents know how to use and use on a
consistent basis.

Why struggle to make parents visit your
website or blog when you can meet them
in a place they already visit online?”

Many school districts try to do both.

What Research Says....


What’s possible if we don’t block and ban?


Perhaps, we gain access to great
resources?

Let’s explore the benefits further....

...low-income students are in many ways just as
technologically proficient as their counterparts....

The study found that, of the students observed, 94
percent used the Internet, 82 percent go online at home
and 77 percent had a profile on a social networking site.

When asked what they learn from using social
networking sites, the students listed technology skills as
the top lesson, followed by creativity, being open to new
or diverse views and communication skills.

How would your students communicate
their message?

“By understanding how students may be positively using these
networking technologies in their daily lives and where the as yet
unrecognized educational opportunities are, we can help make
schools even more relevant, connected and meaningful to kids."

School is not only a place where children learn
reading, writing and math. It is also a place where

they learn to get along with other people and
develop social skills.

“Social skills are the skills we need to
interact adaptively in
our cultural environment.”


Where exactly is that cultural environment?

...in June 2011,
Consumer Reports
estimated that about
7.5 million people who
use Facebook are
younger than 13.

"For some teens and
tweens, social media
is the primary way
they interact socially,
rather than at the mall
or a friend's house.

To graduate all of our students
and prepare them for success
in higher education.

With over 67 million kids using social
media (e.g. Facebook), can we afford to
remain silent as educators?

school prepare students for life?

Those who cannot claim computers
as their own tool for exploring the
world never grasp the power of
technology...

They are controlled by technology as
adults--just [they were]...controlled
[by] them as students.

electronic media: what can i do with it?

In accordance with administrative procedures, a
certified or licensed employee, or any other
employee designated in writing by the
Superintendent or a campus principal may use
electronic media to communicate with currently
enrolled students about matters within the scope
of the employee’s professional responsibilities.

electronic media to communicate with students
who are currently enrolled in the District.

...and, responding.


how are we modeling appropriate use of social
media for our students?


SB407 grants exemption from punishment for those who receive a sext
and either report or destroy it within 48 hours. Effective September 1,
individuals found sexting could be charged with a misdemeanor and
required to enroll in an educational program about sexting’s criminal,
emotional and psychological damages, including cyberbullying.

Recommendation: Put good stuff out there and help your
students learn to distinguish what is appropriate and what is
not.

achieve at high levels.
