Quite simply, social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook have improved my effectiveness and efficiency as an educational leader. As I learned from my students, many more people use the social media tool, Facebook, than use Twitter. As my network has grown, so has my growth as an educational leader.

Our children need to have adults in their lives that know and understand the art of developing personal learning networks and connecting with others.

In March of 2009, I began to use Twitter, and it was at this time that I began to create a Personal Learning Network (PLN). Through the use of social media, I realized that I didn’t really need to be “developed.” I think the same can be said when it comes to the learners we serve.
