Artifact: Facebook Feed
Twitter Feed
Reflection:
This artifact is a screenshot of both the Facebook feed and Twitter feed that I consistently update at my school. In this day and age, social media is an excellent way to communicate with parents and even the community as a whole. It seems like the majority of people have at least one of these social media accounts, and many people consistently scroll through their newsfeed multiple times a day. Social media can even be many peoples’ source of news. As a result, at my school, we try to share as much information via our Facebook and Twitter accounts as possible because we tend to reach more people that way. This artifact demonstrates mastery of Standard 3.7 – Communication & Collaboration – which states that “candidates utilize digital communication and collaboration tools to communicate locally and globally with students, parents, peers, and the larger community” because our social media account effectively communicate with many people affiliated with our school.
Twitter and Facebook are very effective communication and collaboration tools to communicate both locally and globally with students, parents, peers, and the larger community. Any time an important event is coming up, we always post about it on our Facebook account. Our Facebook and Twitter accounts are linked, so anytime we post something to Facebook, it automatically posts to Twitter as well. That way more people are reached without us having to do extra work! In addition to posting news and upcoming events, we make it a point to post fun things as well. For example, we post pictures of Field Day, Red Ribbon Week spirit days, and our Fall Festival. Parents are always more likely to keep up with our Facebook news if they see pictures of their own students involved in our great activities. In addition, people outside of our school keep up with our page and get inspired to take the great things that are happening at our school back to their schools. Our students always get excited about our Facebook posts, and if they know something they did is being posted to Facebook, they cannot wait to get home to tell their parents to look.
Keeping up with these social media accounts has really taught me the importance of communication. Parents love to know what's going on at their child's school, and what better way to do that then to post on social media? Thankfully, we only have one student in our entire school who is not allowed to be photographed, so that makes it easy on us. It is just important that we remember to take pictures consistently and post them. This communication definitely improves school improvement because it brings the school closer together as a community. All of our Facebook posts are encouraging and uplifting, and they make everyone proud to be associated with our school.
