“Facebook didn't exist,
Twitter was still a sound,
the cloud was still in the sky,
4G was a parking place,
LinkedIn was a prison,
applications were what you sent to college,
and Skype was a typo."
-Thomas Friedman,
NY Times columnist & Pulitzer Prize winning author
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all
It’s just a really fast communications channel

If social media were a high school in 2013…
Facebook “The Big Man” Facebook would be the popular kid
Twitter aka “The reporter” Twitter would be the chatty one
YouTube aka Mr. Hollywood YouTube would be the drama kid
Pinterest aka Material Girl Pinterest would be the cheerleader
Linkedin Student Body President Linkedin would be the kid who’s going places
Tumblr “The self-expressed explorer” Tumblr is the self expressed explorer kid
Instagram is the “Hey look at me!” kid
SnapChat would be that kid who disappears
Google Plus Google Plus would be the rich kid with tech toys
How are students using it
How educators are using it
Facebook resource for counsellors
This resource examines four
key areas that affect school
counselors in the technology
world:
1. Developing their school's
Internet policy
2. Responding to online
incidents that impact learning
conditions
3. Detecting at-risk behavior
4. Teaching their students
"digital citizenship"

#Crowdsourcing
My two cents
Don’t ignore social media (it’s not a fad)
Learn the language
Develop policies and guidelines
Don’t start without these
You can’t be on every social media channel
Involve students in the process
Identify and leverage influencers
Make your content bite-sized
Will someone want to share it? Share and curate content others will value
Measure your efforts
Have fun and be creative
She’s coming Continue to learn because she’s coming
