The document discusses using social media for educators. It summarizes establishing a Twitter account for a school music department to share student work and keep the community updated. It also discusses the ease of creating accounts on Twitter and Glogster for students, though Glogster's interface can be glitchy. Maintaining multiple accounts takes time. Moodle is praised for allowing asynchronous online learning at one's own pace through articles and tools. Various social media accounts and projects are listed at the end.

- 1. March 2014 Social Media for Educators
- 2. Established presence of music department on Twitter Can easily post photos/ videos of student work in mere seconds Keeps parents/community updated in 140 characters or less Can retweet popular musicians for students to see Most Useful Tool
- 3. Successes & Challenges Most account creations took mere minutes Introduces new opportunities for students with iPads Majority of students already have Twitter accounts Glogster has many uses in a general music class LinkedIn interface is somewhat overwhelming to new users Glogster interface is glitchy Uncertain if I should include personal info on a school account Time required to maintain all accounts quickly adds up
- 4. Moodle & Online Learning As a busy musician, Moodle has provided the perfect method for me to take courses at my own pace. I very much appreciate the asynchronous method of project submission. I also enjoy reading the provided articles and learning about each new tool at my own pace. If I had my way, I would take all of my graduate courses online!
