Summary of Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano:  Mrs. Tolisano's post titled What are the Best Ways a Teacher can Demonstrate Leadership in the Classroom? was her interpretation of what leadership means. She talks about definitions of leadership that she found while researching other peoples views on the topic. 

 My Comment: I like your four components of "Leadership". Model, experience, Share, and trust. What great examples of what it means to be a leader in the classroom. As a future educator, I am beginning to understand the importance in embracing constructive criticism, and growing from it. A true leader will admit they do not know everything, but they will learn from it and share their new knowledge with others.

Social Media Conference

Summary 2: Mrs. Tolisano gives some great advice on how to introduce social media at a conference as a means of learning, and not just technology.

Comment 2:Great ideas!! The concept of using social media in the classroom can be intimidating to traditional educators, especially those who might not be as tech savvy as others. A hands on approach sounds like a great way to get attendees involved without feeling over whelmed. As an Education Major myself, I am slowly adapting to this new way of teaching through technology. It is so clear to me now that incorporating social media is not about teaching technology, but as you stated “learning”.
