A Principal’s Reflections: The Right Way is Your Way

Linda Buckmaster‘s insight:

If you asked me two years ago about Social Media I would not have recommended using it as an educator or in the classroom! But my attitude changed after setting some SM goals for myself to join up a couple of sites, start a blog, post an article etc.   I experimented with  several SM sites where I found some to be more useful than others.   Two years later I now have my own website and a member of most SM sites.  I use some sites more than others and don’t feel that I need to be fully active on ALL of the SMs; currently Twitter and Pinterest work for best for me.  It’s all about common sense as an educator and preference as to what works for you!

Linda Buckmaster‘s insight:

How many times a day do you hear "I’m bored"? My aim is more about inspiration and motivation rather than just plain English lessons. College students have had eleven years being told what to do and how to do it – they now have to learn and work independently or collaboratively to be workplace ready.
