What is "edu reform"? Does our mindset include technology? Why or why not? Some very good point for social media in this article.
"In their book Why Social Media Matters: School Communication in the Digital Age authors Kitty Porterfield and Meg Carnes argue that for school leaders to use social media effectively, they not only use it to communicate out information, they must also engage in listening to what stakeholders are saying. Listening online gives leaders insight into their communities in a way that face-to-face meetings and surveys do not."
"Many people think of social media as only a place to share updates, links and photos/videos with their friends, but it’s actually a great tool to use for education. Yes, education. Before you start discussing how social media in the classroom will be too much of a distraction for students, you have to think outside the box and realize that social media actually has plenty of benefits to offer schools, students and educators."
"According to Danah Boyd, a leading researcher on youths and social media, the internet has brought many misconceptions about what the real risks to teens are online. The Internet doesn't increase bullying, Boyd says, but attitudes toward it increase the fear and misunderstanding about what teens are exposed to."
"From The New York Times, to ABC News, to HuffingtonPost.com and everyone in between, nearly 30,000 members of the media have quoted HARO sources in their stories. Everyone’s an expert at something. Sharing your expertise may land you that big media opportunity you’ve been looking for."
"By blocking social media schools are also blocking the opportunity:
1) to teach students about the inventive and powerful ways communities around the world are using social media
2) for students and teachers to experience the educational potential of social media together
3) for students to distribute their work with the larger world
4) for students to reimagine their creative and civic identities in the age of networked media"
"Conflicting views on the effects of digital media are nothing new. Yet what's weird here is that even though in most cases over half of parents cite harmful effects on kids in general, very few parents are concerned with the amount of time kids actually spend with digital media. Yeah, that's a headspinner, isn't it? This article form Eleanor Yang Su will hopefully clear a few things up for you, so keep on reading."
Common Sense is a great site for parents and kids to help bring awareness of the internet and how best to navigate the online world. This site deals w/ big problems that kids may face and helps parents and kids learn online safety.

"As school districts explore the use of social computing throughout the school day and as an approach to extend instruction, many educators are making the decision to create a wiki, publish video online, or to participate in blogging, social networking or virtual worlds. Social media guidelines encourage educators to participate in social computing and strive to create an atmosphere of trust and individual accountability."
"Going back to school, for both teachers and students, can be a nerve-wracking and difficult process. Students probably don’t know one another. Teachers don’t know the students. Everyone is just looking to carve out their own niche and perhaps make a few friends.
That’s the old way of doing things. There’s a new and better way to get students and teachers to engage with one another. Not surprisingly, it’s because of a new piece of social media!"
