A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to be a part of a webinar run by Brian Dixon. Considering I had never heard of this man before that night, I was pleasantly surprised at his presentation. Dr. Dixon, author of The Innovative School Leader’s Guide to Social Media was not your average webinar presenter. Most presenters I have had the privilege of seeing have come in with a predetermined PowerPoint presentation that highlights certain uses of certain technologies. Dr. Dixon, on the other hand, began his presentation with a Poll Everywhere vote to see what his audience was interested in learning about. From there he jumped around his presentation to the topics of interest and really covered them in great detail. One of the best things out of the evening was leaving the webinar with too many ideas of technology integration. It is never a bad thing when a teacher has TOO MANY ideas to try out in their classroom. My bottom line is that if you have the chance to read the book, or see Dr. Dixon present, take it and run with it.
