Get Social Media Wise: A Guide For Schools
()
About this ebook
Currently, our schools are technologically behind in a way that other industries could never withstand. I see attempts to integrate into the cyber-world, with mobile usage for quizzes, SmartBoards and iPads and Kindles, and many web-based activities. Occasionally, I even see some in-classroom online discussions using social media. But on the whole, educators tend to ignore the new and growing world of the Internet in replace of 'old-fashioned' teaching. This book has been created to help encourage educators to embrace social media into their classrooms and to feel more confident in doing so.

Introduction
The idea for this book came to me one rainy afternoon as I sat grading papers in my living room. As an educator with a social media marketing background and mother of three, I see a lot in terms of how the current Internet-based world affects teaching and learning. Social media in particular is a powerful force, directing children’s lives in a way we never could have imagined in our own day. Today, social media drives business transactions, information relay, and relationships, among other things, and it has become a force to be reckoned with.

But on the whole, educators tend to ignore the new and growing world of the Internet in terms of old-fashioned teaching.
To me, this lack of integration is foolish. With my knowledge of the social media world, it is apparent to me how much better our education could be if we
