Description:

Social media are online spaces for sharing information, building awareness, and creating connections. Social media like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more, will continue to be important forums for our students, staff, and communities. As educational leaders, what do we need to know about social media? This general session will introduce the basics of social media. Table talks will address controversial topics regarding social media in grassroots activism, social media in education, social media in politics, and social media in interpersonal relations. Adriana Meneses, a graduate of SIATech at San Diego Job Corps and SIATech San Diego, will provide a student perspective on social media. Lin Miller will discuss how leaders can implement employee guidelines for social media. Participants will reflect at their tables on how they will create and implement a personal and/or team action plan for social media.
