Learning & Leading with Social Media

Web 2.0 has caused a fundamental shift in the way we communicate, as well as how students learn and interact with information.  That shift has and is changing the culture of education.  If teachers are going to be prepared to meet the needs of their students now and in the future, principals must be prepared to pave the way.  This presentation is designed to inform and engage principals about the advantages of implementing Web  2.0 in their schools.
