Group+B

Reflective: Objective:
 * connecting online - good for the shy to the bold (whatever your comfort level, you can share)
 * increasing student engagement - author talks
 * most people trust their peer networks over any other sources
 * see Nick Bilton's //I Live in the Future and Here's How It Works// - he talks about imagined communities (from Benedict Anderson's discussion of nationhood)

Key Points:

- No use hiding from technology, it is the main way to reach people...kids. - Youtube's influence is promoting oral skills more than writing skills. - Social networking gives power in numbers. (Eqyptian Revolution) - Technology gives one more voice. - More opportunities available.

Interpretive:

- Need more education for staff...as in, not needing to know more than the students, just needing to know more for me. ---Need to know what is out there and general use, but not necessarily know all of it. - Need time...tools...more leaders with time. (need a full time iSITS person in each school) - Need to teach social etiquette.
