- 35. As a new teacher, how has social media helped you? Social media has given me access to tools I might have otherwise missed. As a new teacher I do not have the time to be constantly exploring and looking for answers for every subject. Through social media (twitter,blogs) I have built an invaluable PLN that has been a support network, resource pool and overall great group of people to work with. @tinaoke …lots of great ideas and support. I feel more connected and less "alone" as a newbie. I've been challenged to rethink (or at least affirm) some of my philosophical beliefs and practices in the classroom.
- 36. As a new teacher, how has social media helped you? I'm able to get ideas for what to avoid AND what is good to try. I'm able to get links from experienced teachers for tried-and-true sites as well! It has made my pd ongoing… It has connected me to other resources and opened my eyes to various schools of thought in education outside my staff room. I have found this important living in a tiny village, working in a small school district that has little connectedness in it!

Notes de l'éditeur
- Focus on professional and personal relationships and using stories to share, steal ideas, growFocus on the WHY we need to connect and collaborate with othersHow to do this.Do we know people in our schools? Districts? Do we know the people who can help us grow?
- Currently principal of K-6 elemschol. Father of twin toddlers. Went to UVIC – B. Ed. Very lonely start to my teachin career. Taught at Brookswood in Langley for 7 years – taught just like everyone else… until my masters at UBCStarted to realize power of networking, collab and reflection– cohort group, Started as VP at Kent in AgassizFurther networking through BCELC but mostly face to face/email, Principal in 2009 and that is where my journey with Social Media began.
- What is your best learning memory – as a child or as a professionalHow many people had this all by themselves?
- Know an Korean Singers? What can we learn from Psy?In addition to face to face, this is how many people connect. This is how stories are shared globally.We are learning and connecting at a global level. Just because we are in Rosedale, doe not mean that we cannot connect, share, and learn from people next door or around the world.
- How can we tap into this and use it for learning?
- Structures do not always facilitate collaboration. Especially for new teachers and TOCsBurnout is a major concern. How can we create the conditions for collaboration both within school but also away from school?
- What is there is nobody in the room but you? How can we change the “room”?
- Who do you turn to for help? Resources? Advice?There should be someone in the school but is this the only place?
- I replaced our toilets using YouTube. Doesn’t have to be YouTube but there are many tools that help us to connect, learn and grow with others.
- Feb 2009, met with KyeOnline marketing strategy for my wife’s businessIntro’d Twitter and FB PageI could see the Facebook Page but Twitter?
- I created two ways to try to get information to parents and share great things happening at our school.Big risk – putting myself out there with FB page – perk of the small district I am in – autonomy to take risksFB was an immediate hit – but heavily moderated. No major issuesTwitter notsomuch but then started to connect with educators – reading blogs, etc
- Connected Principals, #edchat#bced, I get to ‘see’ what is happening in schools across the globe. Ask questions and get so many views. All this is IN ADDITION to my school and district.GLOBAL connection also strengthens my local connections My network continues to grow but it is important to keep those key relationships close.
- Meeting Old Friends for the first time – POWER of F2FPrevious conference/PD experience: pick a conference based on what came in my box, got to the conference, take a few notes by myself, go homeNOW – network with passionate people, discuss conferences and workshops, go there and meet them, discuss the day on backchannels, go for lunch and continue the conversations afterwardEdCamp Vancouver, later Edcamp FV
- This past weekend – gave me a hat – because of the joking around that happened since last winter. Conferences are as much about the social aspect as they are about the professional development.
- 0:15 Dive deeper into the important question of Why – will never do the how and the what without the why
- Reach out to others, learn together.Connect beyond the world of education.
- As you engage in this dialogue… you will see the transfer to different avenues of communication. Stronger more personal relationshipsGeorge, Cale, Brian, Darcy
- EdTech BC Conference... Same thing. Got to hang out with a guy I had spoken to, video chatted with, blogged, tweeted, Facebook’d... But never met. The cool things was that this guy was the keynote speaker.
- CONNECT – form relationships.Educators, parents, students… everyone.How do you learn how to connect with parents? ASK PARENTS!
- Regions andDistricts are connecting people thru hashtags
- These learning networks are the coffee houses of today. How do good ideas grow? They collide and the grow.
- Story of @garriochRead parts of blog – michelle, stacey
- WHO IS SHARING THE STORIES IN YOUR SCHOOL/CLASS?
- Share stories that connect with peopleHuge shift in my teaching/leading– strength vs deficit thinkingDom’s teacher showed it to him – he commented.
- We have pockets of brilliance that is not being shared? Also, these great ideas cannot grow as well on their own.
- 2011 Learning and networkingwith other educators has provided me with great ideas to share and propose to staffIdentity Day
- Also posts on my mom, dad, kids…Connect with people in a more personal way.Andrew – see commentsOzzy – connect with others who have gone through a similar stuggle
- 0:30 We will now move the HOW – any questions so far?
- Can be a lonely profession – social media can connect with people in the same building, community as well as throughout the world.Rest of session will focus on HOW
- You have the power to create your own positive footprint. What does your footprint look like? Why is this important? Jobs for teachers, resumes, portfoliosHere is a list of things or here is a video of me doing these things?Start small… twitter and a place to store/share your thoughts (posterous is an easy one)
- It is about finding quality connections rather than numbers… used hashtags to reach wider audience. Build your network over time.Watch how others use SM. Ask questions. Can you have deeper learning via Twitter? No but the relationships built from then create more opps for these conv in different venues.
- Again – share your stories of your learning or at your school… create further dialogue.OR share what is happening in your classrooms. How will parent s understand that school is different if they never see in?Share the WHY.
- Share the stories of your class/school.Let people “in”. How will parent s understand that school is deifferent if they never see in?
- Class Facebook Account – creating community, sharing.
- Sometimes time up front can create more time down the road.
- Use your online connections to enhance your F2F connections (lessons, prof development, life)
- RELATIONSHIPSSTORIESGo beyond the world of education to lead change.
- End of the WHY part – now the how – play over dinner. Show Tweetdeck.
- We are going to take most of the rest of the time/dinnerto play with Twitter. Connect, search… you don’t need an account but it is better if you have one.
- Find people with like interests by using hashtags.Twitter will help you.Search for lists of people - Twellow
