This week I would like to share how you can find Mountain View School Division content via social media. The use of social media has been something that I have been very passionate about in my role as an educator; I think it is an incredible tool for building community and increasing transparency between schools and their stakeholders.

One of the projects I was excited to undertake when I took on this role was the curation of our divisional social media pages. The purpose of this project was:
– to help build community
– to assist with effective and appropriate use of these platforms
– to establish some level of consistency in regards to messaging
We are now up to over 70 accounts across various social media platforms! We have a social media link database in our MVSD ICT Resources notebook and staff are encouraged to add their info into this list as new accounts are created.
Staff are encouraged to use our hashtag #mvsd_mb as a way to curate our content across various platforms. I invited you to search the hastag on your platform of choice to see what is available for view.
