What would I do if I couldn't keep up with my nephew's kids as one of them celebrates a birthday or graduates from kindergarten? Social Networking is a wonderful way to keep in touch with family and to find great ideas to use at work. I also use Facebook and Twitter to let companies know how I feel about their products or to ask stores to carry certain items.
I belong to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Teacher-Librarian NLing and Pinterest. It was joining this last one where I found and modified a trivia game for the Hunger Games back in the early spring.
Another site that I joined was paper.li. I LOVE this daily newspaper that has filtered out everything except what I am interested in reading.
On Twitter you can find me at DeborahLyman@Bay119. I use this to keep up with various publishers, Goodreads, etc....and those are just the professionals I look at! LOL
Unfortunately the major social networking sites are blocked here at Columbia High School. The tech guys haven't figured out that Pinterest is a networking site, or I'm sure that would be blocked, too. Besides Pinterest here at work, I can also access the Teacher-librarianNLing network. I really like that network for great ideas and helping other librarians solve problems.
Yay for pinterest and ning not being blocked! And congrats hooray - you finished! :)
