Today we are talking about two of my favorite things: Teaching and Social Media.  I love our online teaching community.  I love filling my feed with inspiring educators who help me reflect on my practice, push me outside of my comfort zone, and help me feel connected in an otherwise isolating profession.  While I have experienced countless benefits from our online teaching community, it's also to reflect on HOW we are using these platforms, and discuss some important guidelines that we should all understand.  We are going to talk about best practices, take a serious look at FERPA (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) to make sure we're all in compliance, and discuss some of the ethical issues around using school hours to create content.  I hope you will join in the important conversation as our teaching community continues to grow, in order to keep our students, schools, and our jobs safe.
