Social media as a learning tool for administrators

Consider the administrator that you interviewed for this assignment. Was there anything about their role in working to engage families and community members that surprised you? How do you see the promotion of family engagement as part of a school administrator’s overall role?

Why is it important that all school system employees practice good communication? Cite specific examples from Chapter 5 in the text.

Access Twitter and Facebook and find 5 different schools/principals that use them to disseminate information.  Collectively, how are they using digital tools to connect with students, families, and communities? Can you see this being a valuable tool in helping to increase family and community engagement? Can you see social media as a learning tool for administrators? Why or why not?
