Can you look back 5 years into your social media and be cool with what you posted about yourself? If you fast forward 5 years and still be alright with what you posted today? the picture, the comment, the re-post? Whether it is personal information or professional information, digital footprints are increasingly a resource for friends, family, recruiters, and who knows who else… to check on you. Not to scare or embarrass but to be aware is a good thing to discuss with your children, and your students and reflect yourself as well. Do you think digital reputations matter? do you think it can impact your student’s reputation if yes then here are some ways to look at it and build it up positively.

One Video of the Week:

Digital education and social media expert Nicola Osborne encourages us to tread carefully on social media and consider what our digital footprint might reveal about us. Nicola leads EDINA’s work in Digital Education which includes working with the University of Edinburgh, and with partner organisations and researchers across the UK, to develop new projects and innovative ideas, some of which go on to become fully-fledged projects or services. She is also actively engaged in research in this area with work particularly focusing on social media and digital tracks and traces, particularly in relation to higher education teaching and learning. She is also interested in privacy, ethics, and information security around social media and digital platforms. In October 2015 she was included in Jisc’s 50 most influential higher education (HE) professionals using social media in recognition of her previous and ongoing work in this area.

Guest Expert of the Week: Reading with Ms. Meenu.

Reading aloud is one of the most important things I do. Reading aloud motivates kids to want to learn to read, extends their oral language, and gives them opportunities to connect new information to what they already know. Reading aloud offers teachers opportunities to

· Model thinking strategies, fluent reading, and reading behaviors.

· Build background knowledge of different types of text.

· Build community.

· Enhance vocabulary and

· Share with kids our love of reading and learning.

My first read-aloud is almost always a songbook, poem, or Rhyme. The reasons for choosing these as read aloud because:

· They’re fun!

· Children are instantly engaged and motivated to learn to read the words.

· Repeated reading increases phonemic awareness.

· The words and tunes are easy to learn. Children read along right away.

It is recommended to encourage your children to visit a local library. Children love to take these books, poems, and songs home to share with parents and siblings. And it’s a fun way even for parents to connect with their children.

Happy Reading!

Meenu Gera, consulting home and school librarian and reading guide.
