Times are changing.
Exponentially.
Did you know that there are jobs today that did not exist 10 years ago? 5 years ago? Even a year ago?

As a teacher and a social media fanatic, I have witnessed the reluctance of many administrators and teachers to embrace new technology as a way to connect with “the learner.” Not everybody. But I have seen a general fear of new technology. Perhaps it’s just overwhelming.
Is there a way to bring social media into the classroom to connect more effectively with students, thereby enabling them to learn more effectively?
I think so.
There is more to come on this topic. But, until then, check out this video on the impact of social media on the “traditional” education model. It’s well worth a view.
