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.

So if budget cuts should happen, your program will be less vulnerable and more visible.
