A1- Digital leadership is about leveraging digital resources & platforms to accelerate learning & work more efficiently.

Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late!
True, but since so much in our lives is digital, why not harness it as a vehicle for leadership?
Digital leadership, in my world, is about modeling appropriate use of digital resources, such as SM, to amplify our school story!
leadership skills develop along with tech skills…teach others
For me, it is also about teaching Ss how to be responsible learners and consumers of digital media
A1. Dig Leadership & are foundation 4 tech in schools. Lead by example, guide w/ purpose, share responsibly, & stand up 4 each other
Yes! Leadership should be a quality both online and off. https://t.co/sMMcHwDorY
A1 not sure we need "digital" as an adjective to go with "leadership." We do need digitally informed leaders with strong vision
Q2 coming up in one minute!

Modeling ways to build a compelling digital portfolio is a critical skill for Ss to learn https://t.co/eBJ9AVDFzj
Digital leadership, in my world, is about modeling appropriate use of digital resources, such as SM, to amplify our school story!
Leaders should be aware of how their online presence communicates their vision for the school
A2: I think the move from digital citizen to leader occurs when you are the one setting the good example instead of just following
being brave is a huge part of digital leadership! being able to take the first step will help u carve a path!
Welcome! So glad you are joining us T tonight!
But the rewards are soo worth it!
So important to model! We MUST walk the walk!
A2 When a person starts contributing positive thoughts or ideas that motivate others to take action
A2: When an individual uses their skills to build capacity in others.
A2: When you enable others and become the go-to person.
A2: The change occurs when not only our actions reflect our beliefs but that our actions influence others.
Change your local community & you change other communities! Like skipping stones with a ripple effect! https://t.co/aNz2RaqXqs
l I love that you mentioned globally! being digital leaders makes it that much easier to connect with people anywhere
A2 We think being a & digital leader are the same thing. Both need 2 focused on action & needs 2 be a verb!
A2 We think being a & digital leader are the same thing. Both need 2 focused on action & needs 2 be a verb!
A2: A digital leader is a digital citizen who can use their resources to assist others, such as those with little or no voice.

A2: no title required, you arrive at DL status when you learn, share, & inspire others to infuse tech & support their progress

This is why we should show our DL qualities to demonstrate postive character for those that hire. https://t.co/Fcx0FNmAgB

A1 not sure we need "digital" as an adjective to go with "leadership." We do need digitally informed leaders with strong vision
Yes! Was just thinking this as answer to q2
Not all citizens are leaders -digitally or not; with that being said, leadership skills can be developed in all citizens.
A2: having the confidence to take a step forward, share your achievements and be brave in your failures
Walking the walk is so important!! Lead by example! https://t.co/qBmsLZpwGQ

A2 & skills r woven together. Intent 2 influence & make diff globally as digital role model & mentor takes 2 next level
Absolutely. Leadership is recognizing how much of an effect we have on each other. We share powerful messages.
And then maybe convince someone else to step outside their comfort zone and into the learning zone!
A2 - when your positive actions help to inspire and influence others
I have been building curriculum from cornerstones of for student leadership programs in
is so vital to our success as a community! Ss have the answers if we can provide opportunites https://t.co/fPcp4ZYFlF
A2: A digital leader is a digital citizen who can use their resources to assist others, such as those with little or no voice.

Our lives are all interconnected so we have to be aware that our online presence is to!
I'm so inspired that I don't know what to say
A2 Encouraging others' growth, abilities, and ideas is a big part of any kind of leadership
Kind of like A Few Good Men. You don't have to have a patch on your arm to have honor. https://t.co/5ANT90ggjk

Noah in Denver, sneaking a few minutes of chat while waiting for my haircut🙌
If we can help nurture strong & positive citizenship in all our students (digitally & globally), they will be able to lead!
We are having a blast & laughing as we juggle multiple Twitter accounts on one device!
Great point! Which is why we need to realize we can all make a difference if we try!
A2: A leader is someone who has experienced both successes and failures of being a digital consumer/producer.
totally needs to be a verb! that's a great way to explain the responsibility and action encompassed in it!
Q3 will drop in one minute!
This is so true and definitely something we can all help our Ss aspire to! https://t.co/axim3Vc3OB
If we can help nurture strong & positive citizenship in all our students (digitally & globally), they will be able to lead!
It's usually the struggle that makes us better, not the succeses.
ability to make others feel comfortable
THIIISSSSSS!!!>>>>> https://t.co/EYJkHrfwZa
A2: A leader is someone who has experienced both successes and failures of being a digital consumer/producer.
Carol ELA Consultant from Long Island excited to join for .
A2 A digital leader doesn't worry about likes, follows & shares as much as posting thoughtful content and quality social engagement
There is a lot leverage. Most everything is going digital and it takes know-how to be successful.
Failure is just as important, if not more so, than success. You definitely learn more from failure
I bet has been huge in that! That sounds so exciting!
Multitasking at a new level! https://t.co/gcw9nitHgR
We are having a blast & laughing as we juggle multiple Twitter accounts on one device!
be a wordventor! It's a verb now!
A3: While I hope that adults are always looking to set a positive model for Ss, I don't think the criteria is any different
Mother-son Twitter chat moderation! Love it!

A2: A leader is someone who has experienced both successes and failures of being a digital consumer/producer.
agreed Latrea! We need to be literate in order to successfully educate & empower our kids.
TRUTH!! https://t.co/8CpQCgS6yr
Our lives are all interconnected so we have to be aware that our online presence is to!
A2) We never stop being citizens who are still learning. We're leaders as soon as our wisdom and commitment are shared with others.
Hi I am excited to join you and other at but you already have practice speaking in front of crowds.
I love that mentality! everyone is capable of being a DL if they themselves!
Thank heavens I scheduled in the Q tweets! I can't keep up! Love it!
AND giving appropriate credit where credit is due
A3: Ss should have the same ability as adults to become a DL. Anyone can help empower others, regardless of age or status.
A3: no matter your role,you mush lead by example to inspire change in others
A3: it should be the same for both. We should all understand, no matter our age, that there are pos. & neg. of being online
A3: No, everyone has an equal opportunity to learn, educate, and lead online independent of their age or position
A3: No it should be the same in that I have been enabled by peers and students equally adept.
A3: technology use has no age limits or barriers, we all have the same responsibility. Once you know better you act better
A3 I think every person regardless of change has the ability to make a huge mark on the world
A3: No, the expectations of social media are the same for everyone.
A3: A transition from to digleader is made when we all understand the expectations.
so glad that is honoring tonight.
Now THAT has to be a hallmark of a digital leader! https://t.co/GKrldNEu9J
We are having a blast & laughing as we juggle multiple Twitter accounts on one device!
Great point! We need leaders who've experienced, learned from mistakes https://t.co/wkRUJb7paS
A2: A leader is someone who has experienced both successes and failures of being a digital consumer/producer.
A2: a digital leader is vulnerable to take the 1st step, balanced enough to know there's nothing to fear & super passionate
failure is the best learning tool!
Yes! Millennials learn first how to use an iPad before writing their names. Gotta advance with the technology.
i'm getting goosebumps from this chat! I love it!
Could not have said it better myself!!
A3 can & should be different, different uses, different issues arise
RT : A2) We never stop being citizens who r still lrng. We r ldrs as soon as r wisdom& commitment r shared with others.
Hi Susan! You'd love the restaurant in Toronto that we are in right now! Everyone signs! https://t.co/blqJmfEYPg
Mother-son Twitter chat moderation! Love it!
YES!!! So excited you are here!
Q3 I do c digital leadership skills diff 4 educators vs students. Need 2 look at developmental place of Ss & school role 4 educators
and who aren't afraid to share their mistakes publicly! (including with students)
Ss have the same power to teach as Ts do. Important to remember this and great point! https://t.co/nCAaRhEqCD
A3: No it should be the same in that I have been enabled by peers and students equally adept.
TRUTH! Well said! https://t.co/nmtY2tmO9i
A3: Ss should have the same ability as adults to become a DL. Anyone can help empower others, regardless of age or status.
Excited you were able to join us!

Now THAT has to be a hallmark of a digital leader! https://t.co/GKrldNEu9J
We are having a blast & laughing as we juggle multiple Twitter accounts on one device!
Completely agree, but it is great to see how many sets of eyes are on my Ss work when I put it out there for them.
A3 Have to assume that no matter how many handles, have to act as if every S, P, etc. will see what I post.
Yes! Especially with today's Ss growing up in a digital world, we should respect their knowledge and experiences.
A3 AND should have the opportunities to do so
if you are afraid of the water, you don't pass it on to your kids. You teach them to swim!
I think this is an important piece for sure, I still think that Ss have the ability to rise to the occasion
Is that attitude necessarily mutually exclusive from being a digital leader?
Hi!! THanks for being part of our chat tonight!
A3 S do have a biological problem with impulse control. But SM often enables impulse control in adults. So no, it should be the same
and it is so empowering for students to be respected enough to be asked their opinion, or asked to help
Hi Carol! I'm going to be a speaker next weekend too! https://t.co/XSMepXvsx6
Hi I am excited to join you and other at but you already have practice speaking in front of crowds.
. . agree, we need to trust our Ss
Quality content will attract a quality audience. Let's show Ss that is more than peer to peer https://t.co/XZoyij6tXp
Completely agree, but it is great to see how many sets of eyes are on my Ss work when I put it out there for them.
A3) We must give everyone the space to become leaders at any age. Adults can't relinquish leadership, tho. They must be role models.
As with all things in life, you only get out of it what you put into it!
yes definitely agree with this 100%
is a mantra for ALL. Respect-Share the Learning Digitally with All.
The 3 of you are perfect examples! https://t.co/xW8Bqc7y5c
A3: Ss should have the same ability as adults to become a DL. Anyone can help empower others, regardless of age or status.
A3 shared leadership -- this is how we grow leaders
Q4: coming up in one minute!
This also increases our desire to learn! https://t.co/D6psfGTZ4v
and it is so empowering for students to be respected enough to be asked their opinion, or asked to help
Is shows that you trust them and helps them develop their cognitive thinking skills.
Absolutely! Age not important.
RT : is a mantra for ALL. Respect-Share the Learning Digitally w All.
Like this thought and sketchnote, Lee.
I learn from my Ss every single day. I am a better person/teacher because of them!
A4: Both! Parents should always be aware of what is going on with their kids, but schools need to know what their Ss are doing
A4: It is a shared responsibility but as educators we know that much will fall on the school. Some families don't have knowledge.
So important that we provide opportunities for to shine through! Their voices matter!
Flattens our space and expands our thinking
Ss perspective is invaluable. Different world from when I went to school.
A4: In addition, schools should be giving parents the tools they might not have to help with teaching DL
Also that we can all learn from each other. Learning doesn't just happen in one direction with Ts, Ps and Ss.
A4: Both - we all have a responsibility to teach and model - we all share in the outcomes and downfalls
A4: I believe that it must be both considering the diaspora of tech in the modern world.
A4: A combo. DL skills can be acquired both at home and in the class. Schools can aid in ensuring important DL topics are covered.
A4: i believe that it should be the Ps job to monitor it but it can also be the Ts job to teach ways that can only encourage Ss.
A4) continued...Also school should show Ss how to properly be a part of the social world.
A4: The education of should come from schools and parents collaboratively.
A4 2make a fundamental shift in any paradigm Ps & school need 2take = partnership & work together to promote ethical behavior by Ss
A4: Yes, parents and teachers are expected to teach important life lessons and in today's world digital leadership is very important
This is where Parents & Teachers must communicate.
so true! Started Ss tech team & loved watching the kids grow as leaders & prod bloom when working with Ts
A4 both Ps need to set boundaries for kids, Schools, “professional” boundaries
Can you please direct me to the questions?
A4: BOTH! It's a community responsibility! Parents and educators must work together!
If you build it, they will come!
A4. Both parent & school. Common message. Start young.
Great! Parents, Teachers, and Students should be viewed as a team. "Together we achieve more" https://t.co/xBlGpyqbRS
A4: Both! Parents should always be aware of what is going on with their kids, but schools need to know what their Ss are doing
A4 - I think it's a combination....and Ss can learn it from each other too. Think of the great DL role models in this chat! :)
A4 more colleges& businesses r looking at digital footprints. Better2 have cultivated one than to have sprouted "weeds"
A4: if Ps and Ts can be another source of information for the Ss it only makes it easier and safer for them.
A4 Actually the Ss, Ts, Ps, & Community responsibility. Must be whole Comm Approach. should B as ubiquitous as devices in R Ss lives
Ss can always use each other as resources!
Yes! They are a team supporting student's growth. Must work together.
expectations are sometimes different b/t Ps and Ts
Q4 Digital leadership education needs 2 come from all corners of the campus community including parents, peers, teachers & more
YAS Mrs. Griffin! We can all learn from each other and it makes it that much more valuable when it comes from our peers
Leaders are visionaries in their own right whether it is global, regional, or classroom.
complete the circle by bringing Ss into the convo, listening to their needs and their observations of *our* DC
A4: If ever there was an issue for the community to come together as one and teach the whole child, is it!!
Debby from NY arriving late, but so glad to be joining.
also important to then act on the answers/questions they have.
and I think that safety is very important - especially as Ss are learning
this is where communication comes in
the ratio of education Ss receive and how much they use their devices should be 1:1
RT : also important to then act on the answers/questions they have.
Love the thought that all stakeholders are connected in this global world of
Safety comes first in every aspect of life. Even our digital ones too!
RT : A4: If ever there was an issue for the community to come together as one and teach the whole child, is it!!
And the Ss should be paying it forward and teaching their Ps about
That's what's so exciting about digital citizenship. It's not alone in a room. It's everywhere. It's global. https://t.co/AD9AZUR57O

Setting boundaries sounds negative & restrictive. Let's provide Ss with education and guidance to soar! https://t.co/qZ2xqCeFSc
A4 both Ps need to set boundaries for kids, Schools, “professional” boundaries
A4: Patents and Teachers together are a partnership. We work together to grow our learners.
FANTASTIC POINTS! we're always learning and connecting with other leaders!
"With great power comes great responsibility."
Model and demonstrate how a POSITIVE digital presence makes an IMPACT!
Debby! Hi friend! So glad you made it to to chat with some Ss from my school....they are AMAZING! https://t.co/lDCpdUmVVj
Debby from NY arriving late, but so glad to be joining.

Love your passion. Right on target!
TRUTH! https://t.co/UFlioXXRXK
Great! Parents, Teachers, and Students should be viewed as a team. "Together we achieve more" https://t.co/xBlGpyqbRS
A4: Both! Parents should always be aware of what is going on with their kids, but schools need to know what their Ss are doing
Look, you just used math! :)
https://t.co/iPRxjDVxbY
the ratio of education Ss receive and how much they use their devices should be 1:1
Hi Joe, math & STEM Coach checking in late.
NO matter if u call it digital identity, citizenship or leadership - this work is so critical to equip all Ss in this digital age
A5: Model, model, model & provide opportunities for others to appropriately engage in digital experiences.
A5: We can be more positive by sharing and spreading what we love, not putting down what we hate/disagree with
Better late then never! Glad to have you join us!
Digital world is always open.
glad you could make it - a great chat is happening! Hop in!
Speaking the truth right here! https://t.co/BftMBH5Vfg
A4: If ever there was an issue for the community to come together as one and teach the whole child, is it!!
A2 People move from digital citizen to digital leadership when the voice is activated to be the digital change needed in this world.
A5 By showing the value and the fabulousness of being in a digital age.
Thank you for joining us!
A5 As digital leaders we need to step out as digital role models and mentors to our students, colleagues & even family/friends
A5: To have a more positive influence we can take more initiative, reach out more, and recognize the digital leadership of others
A5 It is like skipping stones. All choices have ripple effect.
A5: Taking initiative to share potentially beneficial ideas with others. "One man's trash is another's treasure". Nothing is wasted .
A5: doing simple things like commenting on other's posts or encouraging others is a good way to influence others.
A5: Modeling appropriate behavior trumps 'talking the talk' - what we say and do, not what we say.
"monitor" sounds like hands-off. Do you see parents' role as modeling through their own use, and trusting their kids?
It definitely starts with us! Change starts by looking in the mirror.
A5. we are doing right now....engaging with others...sharing and caring.
Amen! https://t.co/uXTPAOC4DK
NO matter if u call it digital identity, citizenship or leadership - this work is so critical to equip all Ss in this digital age
It's all about the TEAM https://t.co/yQg27H1SEJ
A4- Positive digital leadership must be modeled by all the adults in a child's life-parents, teachers, etc. It's not 1 person's job!
I usually have autocorrect problems...I have to be careful...
A5 modeling app. usage is key, edu about variety of usage is important, listening to needs, everyone’s needs and usages are diff.
Thank you for joining us!!
I just got here too. Great to see you both
Flip the negative perspective of social. Get telling our students what we want them doing - not just the what NOT to do!
providing opportunities for those that have not previously had a voice is so important!
A5: for starters, accept that brig positive takes MORE effort than being negative. Nobody thinks the smily kumbaya guy needs support
this is so important! If all Ss hear is the negative, they internalize it and don't always see the point https://t.co/cICgFXjxZL
Flip the negative perspective of social. Get telling our students what we want them doing - not just the what NOT to do!
I am definitely using this analogy in class tomorrow! https://t.co/qbtKbhkyhK
A5 It is like skipping stones. All choices have ripple effect.

I believe that Ps should teach them good digcit skills but also help them when they make a mistake.
So great to realize you can't prejudge from what you will learn and from what you won't.
Yeah, I think we project our insecurities & apprehension onto the Ss.

Great to see you too, Joe!
Yes, parents, teachers, … ALL caregivers.
Who is responsible for teaching manners in school? What about ? How's it modelled in your clssrm? How do Ss practice it?
Model the practice of sending positive "voice" out into the universe should be a goal for all.
My friend says: give someone a hammer, they can build a house/smash windows. Not the tool but how it's used. https://t.co/xz4E3NfQt6
Indeed. There are pros/cons in the digital world. Ss must be made aware of it all while steering towards positive.

Many Ss don't realize you can use SM to be positive and learning! Need to change that. https://t.co/5iyqCnw9gU
Flip the negative perspective of social. Get telling our students what we want them doing - not just the what NOT to do!
The negative only sends Ss away from the digital interstates where they'll need to build a presence for their future
Wasn't that like the first thing we all learned in teacher school?! https://t.co/SHjw22KlaX
Flip the negative perspective of social. Get telling our students what we want them doing - not just the what NOT to do!
Seek out the 'real' social media experiences from your students - don't assume their behavior online or draw to tools
Yes, Dan. We can if we accept the challenge and spread . A5

Q6 coming up in one minute!
agreed. I think that's why we need to try our best to focus on the pos and show this more than our apprehensions
I do enjoy the blank stares at the beginning of year when I mention how I use Twitter and Blogging!

I would think that is changing now that Ts are more connected. https://t.co/0OVwh1U5oH

A6: In the elem level, use of mouse squad has been a great way for Ss to get leadership as too

You should look into leading a session at this summer! It would be GREAT!

A6: Share what you know. Allow Ss to explore by facilitating global learning experiences. Encourage global connections.
I honestly don't understand the know it all attitude. How is that even possible?
I think it's a figment of the person's own mind. lol

I don't even know what I don't know!
Right, but we must learn how to do so to keep our Ss/chid's trust. Perhaps we need training.

Global connections are such eye openers for students. Opens their world that becomes flattened. A6

if the curriculum only presents the negative, it perpetuates stereotypes about teens & tech
So hard convincing colleagues to join and use Twitter/SM

A8: I'm game for most anything but need to know what the snapchat challenge is first!
A8: I don't currently have a snapchat and don't know what the snapchat challenge is, do tell!
That's why modeling learning and using it for the + is so important!
Taking baby steps. Our Eng Ts have “Twitter Tues”; they tweet something from their classes on Tues
Like sex or drivers ed, we can't equate teen social media usage with knowledge or experience
Her Chromebook sticker is proof!
Without exposure, tech seems foreboding. They certainly can't see the positive. Look at what they're missing!
Yes, Michelle are hotbeads of learning in sharing communities. Power of collaboration even if it's virtual.

the summits spawned from the online community have really added momentum and excitement.
It was their idea & a great way to start! Hoping others jump on board!
A8:Heck yes! Don't know what the challenge is, but Snapchat is the #1 app of college students & as educator I need to be aware
we post stories about upcoming events and answer questions! useful tool
What are your favorite links for finding resources?
as a student I can say that snapchat and twitter are the first things I check when I wake up!
I re-downloaded the app because I wanted to give a fair try! I'm on Snapchat.
. It’s opened me up to so many resources & experiences
A7: I really like Brain Pop Digital Etiquette.
it's always great to meet Ss where they're comfortable!

Best way 2 learn snapchat is ask a student, then follow/observe other educators/friends & start exploring! Follow me
This is a great takeaway. Mine is simple Project Voice for it Matters! FQ
