So I spent the morning messing around with Facebook and LinkedIn with the goal of understanding how to use these two tools to further the PlansForUs goals. To that end I asked a bunch of people to be my friend. It is sort of an artificial experience, requesting friendship, but it seems to be an interesting way to keep in touch. In a world where our attention is constantly being requested, I guess that these networks play a role in keeping us connected.

Beyond exploring, I did create a “PlansForUs-What’s Right, What’s Wrong” group in Facebook. I hope that this group will become an outlet for teachers to reflect their PlansForUs experience both to the team and their fellow PlansForUs users. If you are a Facebook user defintely join the group. That said, the Facebook demographic biases towards our younger so I would love to do something to engage those teachers who aren’t social networked up the wazoo. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

In the meantime, feel free to check out my profiles and if you so choose, request a friend.
