Interesting article discussing issues parents and administration have around teachers using social media in school with students. A discussion around this topic needs to be held nationwide and in every school district.

Digital Citizenship lessons for students and teachers

Thanks, Mekca! We spend very little time teaching Digital Citzenship. I think it needs to be embedded in every teacher's curriculum. There are so many "teachable" moments that present themselves that could be linked to proper social media usage. This is going to be an excellent resource for me to share with my fellow educators.

This is an excellent source for me to use in my Teen Insights classroom. We started with a unit on bullying... then cyberbullying... I think we're missing the point- students just need to learn to be good digital citizens! I will use this source to build my curriculum. I appreciate that the curriculum is geared towards students but that it gives teachers and parents good background as well. Parents are a huge part of cyberbullying problems. Much of the conflict we have in school has to do with something students do online at home and then carry those hard feelings with them to school. I do not have resources similar to these. The video that my curriculum used to show warned students to avoid chat rooms and to only choose names that gave no indication of their age, gender, or location. It's good for students to stay safe, but the world has become much more familiar and personal with technology. Our curriculum needs to adapt to keep up.

Such an edgy, dystopic site that lets students and the like witness parodies, advertising, and media with a twist. This has been a favorite of Mass Media for some time.

Fun easy way to share information in a poster/flyer form online

I love Smore posters! I used it to publicize my Bakery Business project and it was nice to have the social media outlets built in. My students also used it to make individual posters to print and hang around the school. It was nice to have a choice of mediums. I added Canva to this list but it is not as well adapted for online use. Smore is unique in its ability to forward through various social media networks and embed in email but still look so nicely done in print.

Great place to share thoughts and ideas about curriculum and content as well as pedagogy.

Similar to Twitter, but without ads. Create a cell for a class, have discussions over content, take notes, share information and more.

This seems like a great resource Abby. I've been trying to find Twitter replacements, since our district blocks Twitter and most other social media sites. Do you have experience using this? I'd love to know more.

Although my district does not block Twitter, I see this as a great tool for lower elementary kids.

Storify allows users to create stories by importing content into a timeline. I've seen Storify used to archive tweet chats, such as #iaedchat. I haven't used it personally can certainly see potential uses, such as archiving a class hashtag follow.

"The most powerful Twitter tool for real-time tracking, organizing and engagement."

I really think that TweetDeck could be very helpful for my classroom. I have joined numerous twitter feeds on education and technology and at least TweetDeck will help me keep them straight. I think that TweetDeck is mostly for teacher use. I believe this because during the school day, most districts usually have sites like twitter and other social media blocked. I have also seen TweetCaster which is similar to TweetDeck with a free and paid version. TweetDeck is nice but TweetCaster also allows you to hide certain people from the twitter feed without actually unfollowing them.
