What is Social Media?
“forms of electronic communication (as Web sites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (as videos)” - Merriam Webster Dictionary
It’s all about sharing!
“Rules” for Social Media
Professional Consider your audience If you don’t have anything nice to say… Follow etiquette Sharing, not just self-promotion
What is Blogging?
Comes from “weblog” Started as journaling Blogs on any topic Share text, photos, video, links Interact with comments “Follow” blogs you are interested in.

“Blogosphere” Etiquette
Cite your sources and inspiration- LINK BACK! Permalink
Commenting Let people know you are there. Don’t attack. Ever. “The purpose of comments in general are to continue the
conversation, give encouragement, or thank the person for their hyperlink or thoughts.” –Tip Junkie
Don’t link to your website unless VERY relevant. Respond to comments from your readers.
Getting Started
Choose a host like Blogger or Wordpress What’s your goal? Who’s your target audience? If you wouldn’t say it to your students or your principal… Consider privacy and permissions
Public or private? If you want an audience, PUBLIC! Comments- how much control do you want?
Content
Common ArtEd themes- lesson plans, ideas, resources, links, management, conferences, frustrations.
Everything’s perfect or real life? Format- It’s your blog, you decide. Visuals
Use your own photos when possible Illustrate process and product Don’t use others’ without permission Don’t just show your example
