From my blog, preso, & workshops: http://www.thedaringlibrarian.com/2012/04/transparency-is-new-black.html Be daring and go transparent! Straight from the Paris & New York runways it's time to be on trend and change into that digital shift! Advocate for your practice and our profession by embracing social media and fighting the "locked net monster." Pump up your web presence and stand out from the crowd by being culturally literate, interweb savvy, cloud computing friendly, and embracing our new transliterate "remix mashup culture." WARNING: Shameless Self Promotion in Rocketboom Video!

4. We must ADVOCATE for ourselves!
Having a strong "web presence" is not showing off
- it's sharing with the community!

5. Visibly Connect with your
students & community:
Start with: Wikispaces, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook,
G+, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Apps, or an Edublog

6. Basically, any way a kid or a parent might look to find &
contact you – your program & practice should be there.

7. So if budget cuts should happen, your program
will be less vulnerable and more visible.
