Dr. Karin Perry presented at NCTE 2012 on using social media in libraries and classrooms. She discussed using Facebook pages and groups to share book reviews and announcements. QR codes and booktrailers on YouTube were suggested to promote books. Twitter was described as useful for backchannel discussions using class hashtags. Library-focused social networks like LibraryThing and Goodreads were also presented.
The document discusses trends in 21st century learners and education. Key points:
- Today's students are digital natives who are constantly connected through technology. However, schools still operate with 20th century models where information is scarce and structured.
- Students now need to be engaged through collaborative, inquiry-based learning that allows choice and customization. Skills like problem solving, communication and lifelong learning are emphasized over content outcomes.
- While digital textbooks could provide more updated, interactive content, they also risk becoming content-driven with less emphasis on developing core skills. Caution is urged to avoid losing philosophical underpinnings of curriculum.

Beyond the Advance Presentation for By the Book 9John Rodzvilla
In June 2020, L.L. McKinney, a Black author of young adult novels, began the #publishingpaidme hashtag to create a discussion on how the publishing industry treats Black authors: “what they’re paid. What the marketing is. How the books are treated. How one Black book not reaching its parameters casts a shadow on all Black books and all Black authors, and that’s not the same for our white counterparts.” (Grady 2020) McKinney’s call resulted in an online discussion across 65,000 tweets between authors of all races and the creation of a Google spreadsheet that collected information on over 2,000 titles.
While the conversation was originally meant to discuss the ethical value of book publishing, it became an economic assessment by authors of how publishers treated authors of color and women authors without a full analysis of the data collected. This paper would present the data collected from relevant tweets and the Google database to show not only the range of advances among participating authors split out by their race, gender, sexual orientation and the genre of their work, but also the publishers’ treatment of their titles in terms of deal announcements and pre-pub attention in industry publications. The paper is based on a multi-year project of cleaning and evaluating the collected data to assess what it reveals about the habits and strategies of American publishers in acquiring and promoting titles from a diverse group of authors across the literary, non-fiction, children’s, mystery, romance, and SFF genres.

81. Family Engagement Core Values
1) All parents have dreams for their children and want
the best for them.
2) All parents have the capacity to support their
children's learning.
3) Parents and school staff should be equal partners.
4) The responsibility for building partnerships
between school and home rests primarily with
school staff, especially school leaders.

82. Findings
" School principals are responsible
" Limited leadership preparation for using social media
tools
" Tools offer two-way communication by default
" Tools offer direct and immediate access to principal
" Educational “branding” occurs
83. Findings (cont.)
" Learning community can communicate in the same
conversation without being in the same room
" A true depth of how many parents utilized social media tools
to support teaching and learning is unclear
" One size does not fit all. There is a single “one tool” that all
parents use. Various “preferences” came from parents at
each of the schools studied.
84. Findings (cont.)
" Schools used social media tools to recognize,
announce, solicit feedback, remind, build relationships
and engage learning community directly and indirectly
connected to school.
" Above all, parents seek face to face, two-way
communications with respect to eye contact, tone,
empathy, respect
" Social media tools aimed to complement family
engagement efforts already in place by three schools,
not replace them.
85. Implications for Practice
It’s not about the technology
" Focus on embedding core beliefs of school, family and
community partnerships before engaging social media tools.
" How school and parent leaders can go about entering the
world of social media to engage families and the community.
86. It’s not about the tools, but the
relationships

ubiquitous, necessary, and invisible.”

87. Implications for Practice (cont.)
Capacity Building
" Need for University and school-based professional
development for school leaders on school, family and
community partnerships.
" Need for professional development for school leaders,
educators, parents and other learning community members
on use of social media tools
88. Implications for Practice (cont.)
One Size Does Not Fit All
" Access, home use and training needs should be identified
consistently; Per district, per school, per class.
" Schools must identify which tools work best, and which tools
parents already depend on in their personal lives. Build a “menu
of communication offerings” to “meet parents where they are.”
