The Classroom Digital Footprint
“Any growth requires a temporary loss of security.”– Madeline Hunter
In the Classroom Digital Footprint, learn what methods you can use to start sharing your classroom with the world. Do you have a website? Learn how to use Twitter to connect with other educators and classrooms. Hear tips to get your LinkedIn in great order so you can not only connect but often be approached about fun jobs such as blogging for companies that might be interesting to you (or adjunct professorships). Use a Facebook Page to share the good things happening in your club, classroom or school. Use a Google Hangout to let your students meet other students from another state or country (how to connect). Discover the importance of a classroom #HASHTAG. Your digital footprint may be available for the world to see forever (including shoutouts). Make an impact with it!
