Do you still use bookmarks to go to a designated website that you like. Not as in Facebook "like" but rather enjoy. If you do, you are about 5 years behind. Yep, the UGLY truth is so are most school systems and government agencies lacking in communication and in most education circles.
Why? Well in short this "ain't your mamma's" internet anymore. Nope, people don't go to websites, the website or at least the content comes to you. This is a fundamental change that has been happening over the last 4 years. Now don't go blaming it all on Facebook, MySpace or even Twitter. It is a part of our changing society. Yes the same society that labels us and our students to fail if we don't score well on a test. In fact, if we are not using these tools to communicate with our students we are the one's doomed to fail.
All kidding aside, let's lead instead of following. We have to step up for our students and find ways to engage them. More on this later......
