"Why? It's fun! Easy! I can quickly share photos taken on my iPhone when I'm out and about! Or have fun editing photos and sharing from my camera on my iPad! And in the process I'm learning more about photography, photo editing and other Instagram users. Here's my advice to help you get started or get more out of using Instagram. "

As individuals and brands, the best we can hope for is to be authentic personas, an ideal that we display for the world to see.  It's not necessarily true.  It's certainly not accurate.  But I believe it as close to "authentic" as we can hope for. Be yourself. Only a little better. Be who you promise to be to your tribe, not necessarily who you are.

"To be above average, or to achieve better than average results, you must do two things: Do what others are willing to do, and do it better, and Do what others aren't willing to do Otherwise, you're just average."

 I am constantly advocating for other school leaders and educators to embrace this powerful tool to improve communications, enhance public relations, establish a positive brand presence, grow professionally through the formation of a Personal Learning Network (PLN), increase student engagement, and discover a world of opportunity.

"The idea of social business is to apply social software to improve and accelerate how work gets done on the inside of the firewall. Whereas social branding -- blogs, wikis, bookmarks, videos, message boards, Facebook, Twitter, and similar tools -- is increasingly being used by companies to communicate with the external world, what's often missing is the application of those same tools and techniques to create an open, supportive culture internally."

"When IBM (NYSE: IBM) conducted its study of 1709 CEOs around the world, they found only 16% of them participating in social media. But their analysis shows that the percentage will likely grow to 57% within 5 years.

"Matthew Brink, Career Services Center director, said he stresses to students the importance of networking with professionals and potential employers before they graduate. "Stick to a very steady dose of networking," Brink said. "Get in touch with a very high quality contact who can open doors and can introduce you to other folks and their network that can lead you to opportunities.""

"Maybe here's the reason General Motors went "mental" and pulled its Facebook ad budget. Digital marketing is confusing-really confusing-as this insane graphic shows (below)."

In today's harried, fast-paced world, it is easy to think that we can ignore the small niceties in our every day encounters. However, it is especially because we live fast-paced, charged lives that we need to be mindful of issues of etiquette. Ignoring conventional rules of civility can have a negative impact on our workplace relationships. Here are a few tips to help you in this regard.

A media guru shows us how to use social media intelligently, humanely, and, above all, mindfully.

The book I'm reading right now. Focuses largely on 21st century literacy.

The Internet connects us in unprecedented ways. To prepare students to flourish in this new learning world, schools will need to transform themselves in important ways. This book is a road map for any educator thinking about using the web for learning. Build your own learning network, and use learning networks in the classroom and schoolwide to improve student outcomes.

One of the books I was talking about.

"Alongside the expansion of the social web came a generation of students who have never known life without the technologies that many of us have come to depend on. Although there are significant within-group exceptions related to socioeconomic status and ethnic background, today's traditional-aged students are more comfortable than any other generation in history with expanding their lives by living in both physical and digital spaces."

SceneTap is a maker of cameras that pick up on facial characteristics to determine a person's approximate age and gender. The company works with venues to install these cameras and track customers. It also makes web and mobile applications that allow random observers to find out, in real-time, the male-to-female ratio, crowd size, and average age of a bar's patrons. And no one goes unnoticed. "We represent EVERYONE in the venue," SceneTap proudly proclaims on its website.
