“In this book, the authors have done a great job of making the case for participating in social media spaces and have provided a cogent, effective process for getting started. If you are an educational leader wondering what social media can do for your own learning, this book is for you.” —Will Richardson, Cofounder of Powerful Learning Practice, Author, Flemington, New Jersey

“This book is a treasure chest of resources for those looking to begin or enhance the use of social media tools in their school communities for communication and learning. . . . Social media has changed our world. Isn’t it about time we harnessed its amazing power to change our schools?” —Patrick Larkin, Principal, Burlington High School, Burlington, Massachusetts “In an era when nearly every other organizational type is stampeding ahead to exploit the opportunity and honor the responsibility to use social media to communicate and connect, most K–12 schools are nervously dawdling at the starting line. This new book is a very valuable resource, perhaps the best, for school leaders, both new to and experienced in social media tools and techniques.” —Jonathan E. Martin, Head of School, St. Gregory College Preparatory School, Tucson, Arizona
