5 Tips for Creating Social Networking School Guidelines
“Facebook me.” “Hey, hit me on Plus” “Can you tweet me?” “I’m on Linkedin.” “Must have missed that in my feed…” “Wow, look at what is trending now!” Are you social?

Google+ Building (or Re-Building) your PLN
Twitter just became 5 years old and many of us can remember the first time: we heard of twitter… the first time we experienced powerful collaboration on twitter… some of us can even remember our first tweet (not me, though I can imagine it was something like: “I just don’t understand this…” So, for many it feels like a shock when after 5 years, thousands of tweets, hours of growing and grooming our personal learning network we look at Google+ [...]

I Have Reached the Breaking Point with Professional Twitter Etiquette
Before I launch into this post, let me first say that my Twitter profile (@jimohagan) operates as my personal and professional voice. My breaking point was reached well before the Sunday night Twitter explosion over the killing of mass murderer, Osama bin Laden. However, it was a little disturbing with the number of people who I follow for professional purposes trying to cater to the lowest common denominator and tweet that zinger joke that connected Obama, Osama, Trump, birth certificates, [...]

Questioning …
Questions to ponder? Can questions make someone’s point? Is it important to question? As an educator, what were your thoughts when you heard that Egypt shut down the Internet?

Did you bat an eye when you heard that the main reason they shut down the Internet was to try and prevent “Social Networking” sites from being used by those organizing protests? … Now … What are your thoughts on [...]

Today is the only standardized test you’ll ever need.
A teachable moment. Today is one of those days Social Studies teachers yearn for.
