EduDemic » How Social Media Can Help Your First Day Of School - Part 1 - 0 views

  •  
    "Going back to school, for both teachers and students, can be a nerve-wracking and difficult process. Students probably don't know one another. Teachers don't know the students. Everyone is just looking to carve out their own niche and perhaps make a few friends. That's the old way of doing things. There's a new and better way to get students and teachers to engage with one another. Not surprisingly, it's because of a new piece of social media!"

      In the beginning, this was the biggest reason some of my co-workers were afraid to use technology in their classrooms. What if the program won't work? Won't I look like I do not know what I am doing? It was difficult to get some to see that students need to see you problem solve since that is where we need to go in education.
