Wednesday March 2, 2011 at 1:00 pm Central time.
There are many opportunities for districts to use social-networking tools like Facebook and Twitter to connect with their communities, enhance professional development, and promote school and district successes. But many school leaders are reluctant to deploy these tools because they don't know how to use them effectively or feel their district technology policies stand in the way. Our guests will help provide guidance on how to harness the power of social-media tools to improve district communication.
Presenters:
Eric Sheninger, expert on social networking, particularly the use of Facebook and Twitter in schools, and principal of New Milford High School in New Jersey.
Nora Carr, the chief of staff for the 71,000-student Guilford County Schools in Greensboro, N.C., and a specialist on how to use technology to enhance school district communications.
Moderator:
Michelle Davis, senior writer, Education Week Digital Directions.
