We must ADVOCATE for ourselves! Having a strong "web presence" is not showing off
- it's sharing with the community! Flickr Creative Commons: by Tug Wilson
Visibly Connect with your students & community:
Start with: Wikispaces, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, G+, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Apps, or an Edublog

Basically, any way a kid or a parent might look to find & contact you – your program & practice should be there.

The Art of the Follow
What the heck is a #hashtag? A Search Filter – by adding a # to any group of words -
will create an instant search filter
A Place –The hash tag is a virtual chat room or a space for a specific discussion or event
