Schools using Socail Media

Well I am not a teacher yet, I do a lot of subbing in Tuscaloosa. The one school that I am at most of the time is Eastwood Middle School.

 I do think that the school should use social media to connect with the parents and the students. A lot of the students do have a facebook page as well as a twitter page. On facebook the school could set up a page and use it as a means of contact between the teachers, administrators, parents, and students. Not only do the kids have a page but a lot of parents have facebook pages. You have more and more parents that say well the papers that you sent home I never got it or my child did not tell me that. Well if they had the page set up on facebook or twitter they could put a message on the pages telling the parents that they are sending something home with the students or that the kids should come home and tell them whatever the message is. So I am a fan of using Social Media at the schools.
