So true.

Hardest part about going on vacation is trying to explain to your dog that you would take her if you could but you can’t and you’re sorry but you’ll be back soon and you love her so much.

@CSUF_EdTech A5: Excited...I want to learn all the tricks to using social media with my class! #CSUFedtech

[Allison Sparks @allisonmsparks5]

@CSUF_EdTech A4: I think students will only become more information literate by practicing the process. Giving students multiple opportunities to use social media would be ideal! #practicemakesperfect #CSUFedtech

[Allison Sparks @allisonmsparks5]

@CSUF_EdTech A3: Using social media professionally has been a huge help in networking and collaborating with other educators, but with students it seems a lot more challenging. Parents often are unsure about social media and our network at school blocks a lot of the sites. #CSUFedtech

[Allison Sparks @allisonmsparks5]

@CSUF_EdTech A2: I have not used social media with my students...yet. Hopefully I can get some good ideas to use with my students next year! #itssummer #alreadyplanningfornextyear #csufedtech
