mcronk4875 Jun 14 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: It hasn't been hard! We've seen an explosion in social media use. Love the ability to SHOW rather than tell. #k12prchat

shanehaggerty Jun 14 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: Also, go out of your way to share/re-purpose the content your teachers and students are sharing. It shows them it is valued. #k12prchat

A1: Analytics from FB and T help drive buy in and prove engagement. #k12PRchat

@kmagette Absolutely my nerd friend! I do a weekly analysis for Board & Cabinet. #k12prchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@shanehaggerty YES! Nothing more motivating for teachers on social media than to know their effort is seen and shared! #k12PRchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A2 Avoid thinking in terms of "convincing" reluctant colleague. Nobody likes being convinced. Must listen, connect, show value. #k12PRchat

andreagribble Jun 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 - And we share a lot of data. Sometimes that is enough to encourage participation. Our schools get a quarterly Report Card! #K12prchat

sabreangel Jun 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Done social training tho & data only gets so much attn. @thesteveking alwys reminds me of it (I am a data geek). Examples win #k12prchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@thesteveking YES. Convincing is bad for everyone. #k12prchat

A great part of social media is that anyone can be a leader on it. It doesn't follow a hierarchy. #k12prchat https://t.co/hv6s0yO1QU

LDahlkemper Jun 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: Show social media's impact on deepening awareness among your community + building support for your mission. Hi from Colo.! #k12prchat

sabreangel Jun 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2: Fears: Loss of control. Making public what you don’t want to. Not knowing how to use the platforms. Answers: Try & train. #k12prchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

NewsBoss Jun 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: You must conquer the fear of not knowing the technology and the fear of violating student privacy. You do both thru training #k12prchat

@thesteveking Agree - and then promote their successes in story telling and how they made a dif for your dist. #k12prchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2 Breach of confidentiality, nasty comments, staff wasting time. Lead by framing in risk management w policies, procedures, PD. #k12PRchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@sabreangel Loss of control is a big one -- yes. 2-way communications can be messy. #k12prchat

SJWill56 Jun 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: Challenge leaders to see which tweet from the same event gets the most traction - compare the analytics - teachable moment #k12prchat

mcronk4875 Jun 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Absolutely! Love that teachers can offer a glimpse of what is happening in their classrooms. We train photo guidelines, etc. #k12prchat

BBDaneDell - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Its ok if they mess up. Since when did we expect perfection? There's a good chance an adult messes up too #k12prchat https://t.co/YFKYgIDIib

#socialmedia is not a comm. strategy. It is a tool to deliver on ur demonstrating student achievement mission and brand promise. #k12prchat

shanehaggerty Jun 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: Concerns are always the same: privacy, distractions, misuse, etc. District should have guidelines established & conduct PD. #k12prchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@Phxflyer @mcronk4875 TRUTH. More data there than I can usually get through! Good stuff. #k12prchat

Phxflyer Jun 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

FERPA, compromising student privacy. Training eases most of those fears. #k12prchat

marci_minor Jun 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: "When do I make time?" and "I don't want to put student photos on social media." I provide professional answers for both. #k12prchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 "Risk management" is language of leaders -- they deal in risk all the time. Using their language can help you break thru. #k12PRchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@NewsBoss Yup! It's a tactic that supports the bigger picture! #k12prchat

JessStilger Jun 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: Fears often fall to time management. "How will/can I post enough?" I say 1 post/day, 1 insight into teaching/learning #K12PRchat

alishamcall Jun 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

As with any endeavor, it's all about managing risks. #k12prchat https://t.co/iQ1DK1w2Aa

@alishamcall Add that to my list too :) I usually tell them it's out there anyway so it should come from us! #k12prchat

thesteveking Jun 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@marci_minor I assume those answers are both "Suck it up and deal." #k12prchat

kmagette - Moderator Jun 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@TheEimer No kidding! A friend told me yesterday she doesn't have a Facebook account because it's too much of a fad. Made me LOL! #k12prchat

LDahlkemper Jun 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: S privacy, misuse of social media, fear of unknown. Despite this, more Ts&ppals are harnessing social media's influence. Yes! #k12prchat

Phxflyer Jun 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

For all the fear around student privacy, the first people to share or retweet are parents. Soooo . . . #k12prchat

EdTechMack Jun 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: "What about rants?" Embrace it. It's your "in." Address concern, refer, & follow up to check for resolution. May = new ally! #k12prchat

The cost benefit is hard for them to understand because its out of their paradigm. Translate it to them. #k12prchat https://t.co/IqPfqz3SFd
