This is as much a note to myself as to any of my readers, but ed tech folks need to be careful about promising too much to leaders who agree to blog 'n' tweet. John Maeda, President of RISD, via MIT Media Lab, gets it. He uses social media in excellent ways. But, being an individual user does not lead to school-wide adoption or school-wide change. You need to bring people along in the sharing game, help them see how social media makes them better at their jobs. He should be able to struggle through this, but it will take more than tweets and blog posts...

Funny video I came across from @jmclean77 via @mashable about the danger of social media addiction. I wonder if this would appeal/resonate with students.

Inspired by Did You Know 2.0 this video presents social media info in an easy-to-follow manner. Useful for starting discussions with people who may not realize the impact of social media.
