Equipping students for their future begins by helping them become digital leaders now. In our networked society, students need to learn how to leverage social media to connect to people, passions, and opportunities to grow and make a difference. Social LEADia offers insight and engaging stories to help you shift the focus at school and at home from digital citizenship to digital leadership.
My Thoughts:
Social LEADia is a book every teacher (and student) needs. It explains the meaning of digital leadership, and how it is extremely important for each and every one of us to care about this topic. To show others that we can make a difference in the digital world. It has made me realize how important my role of book blogging is in the world, and in the digital one. I am aware of the influence my words, writing and reviews have on many individuals, especially kids. If you want to learn about a teacher's opinion on how we can use social media in the classroom and world, then this is perfect for you.
I adored how personal the writing was, even though it was a research-based novel. Jennifer Casa-Todd tells some stories about her life which surprisingly and amazingly apply to the points she makes and the ideas that are introduced. Everything seemed to sew and flow together wonderfully - I love writing like that. In fact, I love when someone teaches based on their personal experiences; it makes the learning experience so much better and intuitive. In total, I can just say that I really appreciated this reading experience; it was different (and more interesting) than anything I have read before. I guess that I need to read more research-based books!
Social LEADia also has a huge spotlight on students who have made a difference using social media and various movements. I loved this - it shows that people have already achieved the goals Jennifer set out for her readers. And it shows educators and teachers that everyone has a potential to do something remarkable. The author provides us with ideas on how we can strengthen the social LEADia movement in the classroom and beyond with questions teachers should ask themselves and their class. It's a complete success!
Do you want to make a difference in the social media world? Then this is for you - grab this as soon as possible. It's a down-to-earth, truthful research book with humour, interesting facts and statistics that prove that social media should never be looked at negatively.
