Twitter and Schools

I was recently contacted by a few reporters around the country who are doing news articles on school administrators who are beginning to see some applications for the newer social media tools. As some of our readers know this is one of the topics of interest to me that I have written about before.  In fact, Alan Blankstein (president of HOPE Foundation) edited a book titled Leaders as Communicators and Diplomats.  In this book I contributed a chapter about using technology as an administrator to communicate with the public. Click book cover for link.

Here is one of the articles about two superintendents who are using Twitter to make snow delay announcements.
