School Communication in the Age of Google
Porterfield, Kitty; Carnes, Meg
Journal of School Public Relations, v33 n2 p115-130 Spr 2012
The debate about social media in schools--about should we or should we not--is already over. Social media is here to stay. The only relevant question now is how long it will take school leaders to adopt new ways and adapt the new technologies to support teaching, learning, and communication among the adults in schools. For schools to pretend that education is somehow not touched by social media conversations is more than foolish. It is negligent and reinforces the image that many Americans hold of schools and school leaders--that we live our lives and run our schools by looking in the rear view mirror.
