School leaders today have the ability to communicate easier and more effectively than ever. Using apps and programs like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Blogger, and Remind 101, leaders can provide information to stakeholders in many ways. I truly believe to be an effective leader in today's digital world, leaders need to be utilizing these tools. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are great ways to share what is happening in the school, real time. Blogging about school vision and learning from some of the greatest minds out there, will only make stronger leaders. Remind 101 is a great app that lets leaders communicate via text message (through a free app) with anyone they want. Communication has never been easier and more important than it is today.
In reviewing Lisa Nielsen's blog, I came across amazing blog posts that piqued my interest and, honestly, keep me from writing my own blog :). I love her recent post about summer reading blog lists. She compiled a list of great blogs to follow and continue to develop as educators. I truly believe that all people need to keep learning... it makes life more fun and interesting. Also, her post about The Hottest Post Everyone is Reading is engaging and impressive. If you're looking for a great blog to start your blogging adventure, like me, this is a great one to start with.
Jim,
ReplyDeleteGreat image! I agree that social media is a great way to communicate with staff and families. Communication is so important, especially today when many people are communicating with others through technology virtually all day. I feel as school leaders take on this form of communication it almost makes it more personal.
Jim,
ReplyDeleteYou sold me on Lisa's blog. I had to take a look. You can tell she is a dedicated teacher, and that she goes beyond helping her school. She is a great advocate for all teachers. Her blog is easy to navigate through, detailed, and has twitter embedded. She definitely has a blog that I want to keep tracking.

Great find. I felt the blog was enjoyable and informative. Thanks for the info about the 101 app for texting. I never want to give parents my phone number so I plan to use this app in the fall. I think google phone has a similar app as well.
