Collaboration is the key to broadening opportunities for both teachers and students.Scootle is diverse in it's richness of IT opportunities for use in the classroom and within Key Learning Areas.
Having already joined linked in and twitter they provide opportunities to communicate both formally and informally with like minded people and to share updated information. Twitter broadens the techniques to communicate with our students regarding changes in the days activities (such as carnival cancellations) which in a regional setting used to be done over the local radio station. Since now we are a regional school all students & parents could receive the information eventhough they are well beyond the signal of the station, it is also instantaneous and not at the whim of the announcer or station management.
Facebook has it's benefits, but even when considering social media policies and digital footprint it is still not an area that I would set up as a personal site for social communications.
