Greetings! My name is Deanna and I have been an educator since 1984. I was a high school social studies teacher for 15 years, a middle school assistant principal for 8 years, a director of secondary education curriculum for one year, and am now a director of human resources.
Additionally, I am in my third year of working on a doctorate at Kansas State University, and I have known all along the way that my dissertation would deal with the use of social media by K-12 teachers. My desire to do this comes from my belief that our students are living in a world filled with technology, and we need to be using the tools which will help them learn best.
Another reason i am interested in this topic, is I want to help staff members use social media in a way which is as beneficial for them as it is the students. I want them to enjoy using it, to see the relevance of it, and to use it in a safe way.
I am anxious to communicate with any of you out there in the blogosphere who might be interested in some of the aforementioned things.
Take care, D.
I will be riding this social media train with you. Looking forward to learning from people all around the world!
