Twenty-first century school leaders need to become masters of social media leadership.

Being a social media leader means you see the technology of social media as a way to invite stakeholders into conversations, not as an announcement system

Portfolios should be:1- About learning and legacy.It isn't just about assessment but about helping kids connect to their legacy and who that student is.efolios should be about taking kids from a number to a unique individual and give us a unique way to celebrate creativity beyond the standardized test.2 - Efolios should make kids not feel like a number to feeling unique. They should be able to pull all of their lives together. Steve Hargadon shares how his daughter used her blog to get into college.

3 - Schools need permanent museums of learning.If I was sending my child to a new school, I would ask that school to show what their students were doing.

4 - Schools can use efolios as a way to celebrate creativity, the arts, and phenomenal work instead of the "standardized test."
