This document discusses managing your digital footprint and provides guidance on appropriate social media use. It begins by defining electronic media and noting that anything posted online can contribute to a permanent digital record. It then reviews inappropriate social media behaviors like bullying and sexting that should be avoided. The document outlines SAISD's approach, which is to only allow certified employees to use approved social media tools to communicate with students about school-related matters. It provides expectations for role modeling appropriate social media use and following all policies regarding privacy, ethics and interactions with students.

Session Materials - http://bit.ly/saisdemedia
“The main reason is Facebook has 500
million+ users. This is a tool that most
parents know how to use and use on a
consistent basis.
Why struggle to make parents visit your
website or blog when you can meet them
in a place they already visit online?”
