A1: SM should "meet kids where they are", and should change as the kids change. Where FB was once king, now Inst & SnapChat rule #mslibchat

SEMSLibraryLady - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:07 PM EST

Do you use the reviews for that? #mslibchat

In reply to @emstolar

rchallway - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1: Sharing student work, students learning in the library, book talks, events, etc. #mslibchat

SEMSLibraryLady - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1. And mostly to share photos of Ss in the library. They’re MS--they love to see themselves:) #mslibchat

LibrarianMsG - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:08 PM EST

We are all modeling the positive use of #socialmedia when we use library accts--show Ss how social media can be used for good! #mslibchat

emstolar Nov 7 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: I also love destiny quest for modeling good social media skills #mslibchat

DawnTelfer Nov 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 Our district has 157 schools. We encourage our TLs to share what they are doing via Twitter. Allows us to connect virtually. #mslibchat

Q2 coming up in 2 minutes! #mslibchat

emstolar Nov 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

Would people be willing to share sm handles so we can see cool stuff going on? My lib is on Instagram and Twitter: @SMAMSlibrary #mslibchat

In reply to @SMAMSlibrary

vacampbell13 Nov 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

#mslibchat A1:Social media can be used in MS libraries to "advertise" new books or activities.I also use it to document what we do all day.

rchallway - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

Reasons to use SM in libraries: https://t.co/D3vaV1nYyg #mslibchat

LibrarianMsG - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:09 PM EST

Yes! The parents love it, too. I had 2 Ss and 2 parents teach me @snapchat last week during the book fair. #mslibchat

jkhealy4 Nov 7 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1 this is where our students are so we need to connect through social media & meet face to face in our space #mslibchat

SEMSLibraryLady - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:12 PM EST

A2. At the MS level, many of our students don’t have SM accounts. Few 6th graders, increasing with 7th and 8th. #mslibchat

LibrarianMsG - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:12 PM EST

A2: one limitation is some Ss don't want to add me bc they don't want the library in their feed... 😜 #mslibchat

rchallway - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:12 PM EST

A2: "Do not photograph" students (seem to be more every year); blocked SM channels (no Pinterest, FB, Insta, SnapChat) #mslibchat

DawnTelfer Nov 7 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1 SM allows us to make global connections! #mslibchat

SEMSLibraryLady - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:13 PM EST

A2: I'm afraid of pushback from older teacher, so I started with softer promotions #mslibchat

jsuzich Nov 7 @ 9:13 PM EST

My school district blocks social media sites, & middle schools kids aren't allowed to use their cell phones at school #mslibchat

LibrarianMsG - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:13 PM EST

Same at our school--although more than I would expect. #mslibchat

emstolar Nov 7 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: I think having a clear dialogue with admin helps avoid issues #mslibchat

rchallway - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:14 PM EST

This is where sites like #seesaw or #edmodo are great, act as "safe" social media #mslibchat

In reply to @jsuzich

LibrarianMsG - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:14 PM EST

Yes! I do lots of backs of heads, tops of heads, etc. then there are some kids who WANT to be pictured. #mslibchat

Same for me. I still use SM for parents and for kids outside of school, but am learning #seesaw and #schoology in the meantime #mslibchat

In reply to @jsuzich

LibrarianMsG - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:15 PM EST

Yes! My admins follow my accts and my superintendent is supportive #mslibchat

Sm is their lives but some don't want others to know they like to read, code, participate in book club etc... #mslibchat

rchallway - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:16 PM EST

#mslibchat

vacampbell13 Nov 7 @ 9:16 PM EST

#mslibchat A2: Limitations to SM in an MS library are student privacy, the type of SM that is approved by district, some Ss don't have SM.

SEMSLibraryLady - Moderator Nov 7 @ 9:20 PM EST

Absolutely! Can have multiple twitter and Instagram accts on one device. #mslibchat (only one Snap, tho...but I don't use it personally)
