Abstract
Social Media has altered the way society collects, disseminates, and reacts to information. As a result, every profession faces changes associated with training, skill growth, mentoring, and other on-going forms of personal and professional development. As in other professions, educators from across levels and modalities leverage social networking to learn and grow in formal and informal ways. Teacher education programs have a responsibility to enhance how pre-service, in-service, and post-service educators rely on social media. New, emerging, and veteran educators must learn to forge and enhance mentoring relationships, create and shape professional peer to peer communities, leverage knowledge repositories, harness live events, and critically examine emerging tools and theories using social media.
