A3: the resume is the #1 thing Ss always ask for (if we kept a copy) semesters after we had them in class #busedu

teachmbw Mar 1 @ 8:23 PM EST

@dgoodwine all very important - the mock interview even more so as the ability to get point across, speak professional - essential! #busedu

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:25 PM EST

@mrgfactoftheday Holy Josh in the house!!! Great to see you, man! Hope you're taking care of the Green Bay for me! #busedu

hchristian Mar 1 @ 8:25 PM EST

A4 They say it's not what you know, but who, is it moving to who you are connected with? #Busedu

hhsfinancegregg Mar 1 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4: The power of networking in an online world. #busedu

dgoodwine Mar 1 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4: Increasingly, employers are searching for candidates online via LinkedIn. Ss need to show their social media & tech skills. #busedu

MrsCox007 Mar 1 @ 8:27 PM EST

A4 - networking and relationships. The old way of sending in a resume for a job... only 1 in 1,000 are successful. #busedu

eghsbiz Mar 1 @ 8:27 PM EST

A4: Great platform for networking and for showcasing an online portfolio of sample work. #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:27 PM EST

Yes! Connecting to 1 person on LinkedIn opens you up to becoming one degree closer to their connections. #busedu https://t.co/WhOzku85V5

hchristian Mar 1 @ 8:25 PM EST

A4 They say it's not what you know, but who, is it moving to who you are connected with? #Busedu

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:27 PM EST

A4: LinkedIn can b a cornerstone of the big picture online presence. There r several that can b used to become a recognizable brand! #busedu

WinkelerD Mar 1 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4: cloud servicing. Put entire portfolio out there and major networking connections across the globe. #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:28 PM EST

Agreed! Have Ss Google themselves. A LinkedIn profile with their name on it shows they are forward thinking #busedu https://t.co/uS9PoPhXCB

dgoodwine Mar 1 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4: Increasingly, employers are searching for candidates online via LinkedIn. Ss need to show their social media & tech skills. #busedu

hhsfinancegregg Mar 1 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4: The power of strategic writing skills for a robust online presence. #busedu

GerriKimble Mar 1 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4 This article is a bit dated, but it was written before it's "time." This is the case for HS students: https://t.co/xh4O2GbesH #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:29 PM EST

LinkedIn can display projects, videos, images of work. Ss don't need to have extensive work history to shine #busedu https://t.co/enK8H3yme1

eghsbiz Mar 1 @ 8:27 PM EST

A4: Great platform for networking and for showcasing an online portfolio of sample work. #busedu

sheilaopsal Mar 1 @ 8:29 PM EST

@hchristian great thoughts @hchristian #busedu

GerriKimble Mar 1 @ 8:29 PM EST

A4 And the case for college students is obvious. Job/internship search, networking, etc. #busedu

mrgfactoftheday Mar 1 @ 8:30 PM EST

@busedcrev Isn't that @crevier's job? I guess that's just De Pere :) #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:30 PM EST

Yes! Writing skills can be taught though LinkedIn. Communication, too. Teach Ss how to ask others to network #busedu https://t.co/r8Z2y0zzG0

hhsfinancegregg Mar 1 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4: The power of strategic writing skills for a robust online presence. #busedu

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:31 PM EST

@mrgfactoftheday @crevier True! But he could always use support. I don't know how he does all that he does! #busedu

dgoodwine Mar 1 @ 8:31 PM EST

A4: LinkedIn provides a way to provide recommendations (endorsements) from employers (and others) online. #busedu

teachmbw Mar 1 @ 8:32 PM EST

Learned something new - adding content samples - didn't know this! #busedu https://t.co/yQkVxKHnmA

  A4: Great platform for networking and for showcasing an online portfolio of sample work. #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:32 PM EST

A4: I tell my students: Receive a business card? Connect on LinkedIn same day. All the contact info is there, and you can impress. #busedu

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:32 PM EST

@dgoodwine Do recruiters put a lot of weight on endorsements? I feel like I have a LOT from people who have no idea if I'm good! #busedu

sheilaopsal Mar 1 @ 8:33 PM EST

@dgoodwine Very true. It creates their portfolio for each S to add and subrtract from. #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:33 PM EST

Will talk about challenges and questions for teaching LinkedIn and careers in a min with Q5. #busedu

hchristian Mar 1 @ 8:33 PM EST

@AlexMLamon That's a great idea!! Let's Ss know what prospective employers are out there too #busedu

GerriKimble Mar 1 @ 8:33 PM EST

I do this same thing with my speakers. In fact, I have my Ss READ their LinkedIn profiles before they come. #busedu https://t.co/veiKhdH4QB

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:32 PM EST

A4: I tell my students: Receive a business card? Connect on LinkedIn same day. All the contact info is there, and you can impress. #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:34 PM EST

@teachmbw Yes, LinkedIn will allow you to link these samples to specific jobs, educational experiences or projects! #busedu

MrsCox007 Mar 1 @ 8:34 PM EST

Does anyone in their District need to get parent permission first before they engage in a LinkedIn Lesson? #busedu

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:35 PM EST

@MrsCox007 I hope I don't...or I'm gonna be in trouble at some point! #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:35 PM EST

Q5: What questions/challenges would you face or consider when teaching students how to effectively use LinkedIn? #busedu

GerriKimble Mar 1 @ 8:35 PM EST

Minimum age requirement is now 13. So any HS student is good -- in MOST school systems. #busedu https://t.co/NnMd8m7ATu

MrsCox007 Mar 1 @ 8:34 PM EST

Does anyone in their District need to get parent permission first before they engage in a LinkedIn Lesson? #busedu

dgoodwine Mar 1 @ 8:35 PM EST

@busedcrev There is much more value in written recommendations rather than simple endorsements. #busedu

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:36 PM EST

@dgoodwine Awesome...thank you. Super helpful to know! #busedu

teachmbw Mar 1 @ 8:36 PM EST

This would be a concern I would also need to address #busedu https://t.co/R68RyRsPsc

MrsCox007 Mar 1 @ 8:34 PM EST

Does anyone in their District need to get parent permission first before they engage in a LinkedIn Lesson? #busedu

dgoodwine Mar 1 @ 8:37 PM EST

A5: It is a challenge if a student isn't currently in the job market. LinkedIn is more suited to college students & adults. #busedu

hhsfinancegregg Mar 1 @ 8:37 PM EST

A5: to keep their profiles from being as boring as their resumes!! #busedu

MrsCox007 Mar 1 @ 8:37 PM EST

Look below - Kerri just discussed it... #busedu https://t.co/y9mNXn2VsL

  Does anyone in their District need to get parent permission first before they engage in a LinkedIn Lesson? #busedu

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:37 PM EST

@dgoodwine I think they're always in the job market...they just don't realize it until I explain to them how and why that's so. #busedu

hchristian Mar 1 @ 8:38 PM EST

A5 Ps not wanting their S online, still have some Ps w/ reservations about social media #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:38 PM EST

A5: LinkedIn minimum age is 13. Student accounts default to increased privacy. Communicate objectives and purpose to admin first #busedu

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:39 PM EST

A5: #1 priority is that they understand the "Why" behind having an account. If they don't, it's as useful as a paper printed resume! #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:39 PM EST

Challenging. Focus on the networking benefits - retired people always continue to network, for example. #busedu https://t.co/F09wy06z0u

dgoodwine Mar 1 @ 8:37 PM EST

A5: It is a challenge if a student isn't currently in the job market. LinkedIn is more suited to college students & adults. #busedu

GerriKimble Mar 1 @ 8:39 PM EST

One of my students' profiles, showcasing his digital photography work. #busedu https://t.co/UXkor5kwbx

WinkelerD Mar 1 @ 8:40 PM EST

A5: explaining that it is not the same as other social media. Try and have them model all their social media after LinkedIn. #busedu

eghsbiz Mar 1 @ 8:40 PM EST

A5: Challenge: Ss reframing how they communicate extracurricular activities; to memorialize in terms of transferrable competencies. #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:40 PM EST

Adding sample work, projects, and joining groups can help. LinkedIn is more dynamic! :) #busedu https://t.co/BfONEZuKKc

hhsfinancegregg Mar 1 @ 8:37 PM EST

A5: to keep their profiles from being as boring as their resumes!! #busedu

hhsfinancegregg Mar 1 @ 8:41 PM EST

A5: LinkedIn is more than just about getting a job. Connections and staying current. #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:42 PM EST

With the 'why' - show them why/how they will use this after they leave your classroom! #busedu https://t.co/ElSsLrdsNZ

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:39 PM EST

A5: #1 priority is that they understand the "Why" behind having an account. If they don't, it's as useful as a paper printed resume! #busedu

GerriKimble Mar 1 @ 8:42 PM EST

This is SO important to understand. So many think you only need a LinkedIn when job hunting. NO. #busedu https://t.co/wuAftgOH96

hhsfinancegregg Mar 1 @ 8:41 PM EST

A5: LinkedIn is more than just about getting a job. Connections and staying current. #busedu

hchristian Mar 1 @ 8:42 PM EST

@AlexMLamon Do you know any Ts creating groups for Ss to join? #busedu Help Ss stay professional, provide feedback?

busedcrev Mar 1 @ 8:42 PM EST

Q6: What would you like your students to use LinkedIn for? Share even if you are unsure if it's a possibility. #busedu

teachmbw Mar 1 @ 8:45 PM EST

Question - I sometimes receive LinkedIn requests from people I don't think I know - why is that? #busedu

hchristian Mar 1 @ 8:45 PM EST

A6 Could be a source for Digital Portfolio, showcasing best work, learning, accomplishments, always changing #busedu

A6: is LinkedIn something that is essential nowadays? If yes, need to get on board #busedu

AlexMLamon Mar 1 @ 8:49 PM EST

Want to stress that many digital native Ss are comfortable with the mechanics of LinkedIn. They need to be taught best practices. #busedu

WinkelerD Mar 1 @ 8:50 PM EST

@AlexMLamon would it be fair to say many colleges assume HS Ss don't have a profile so they don't know to look at the 1% that may? #busedu
