Social Media as a Professional Tool
Principal, v90 n5 p36-38 May-Jun 2011
Social networking is more than catching up with family and long-lost friends; it's turned into a professional resource for educators to exchange ideas and expand their professional learning network (PLN). According to the report "School Principals and Social Networking in Education: Practices, Policies, and Realities in 2010," most responding principals indicated that social networking sites have value in education as a way for educators to share information and resources; to create professional learning communities; and to improve schoolwide communications with students and staff. However, according to the report, principals were less likely than teachers or librarians to have joined a social network. In this interview, principals Lyn Hilt and George Couros explain how they have grown professionally through social networking and what principals have to gain by participating.
