I would agree with Barry on showing them what they can do with it.<br />
<br />
Most administrators I speak with are a bit wary of the commenting feature even if it is moderated but most are interested with the idea of using Google News to search for their school district or school when it's mentioned in the news and adding that to an RSS feed and realizing that they are now automatically notified when they're in the news.

Make it personal for them.<br />
The connection may not be the classroom, but is likely some kids they know - children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews. Show them what their kids are doing. Do they use instant messaging with them?<br />
Then show them how you are using the tools - personally (like here) and in your classroom. A couple powerful examples will get them hooked to want to see more rather than overwhelming them with all that's out there (and we know it's lots!).<br />

You've already gotten a lot of good suggestions. Here's mine. One of the benefits of belonging to a social networking site like this or an email discussion list, or twitter or whatever, is the increasing ability to get answers to pressing questions rapidly-because, more often than not, somewhere in the world, someone online is paying attention who has the answer you need. And you can get that answer within a few hours if not minutes. I'd look through the postings and exchanges here for one in…
You've already gotten a lot of good suggestions. Here's mine. One of the benefits of belonging to a social networking site like this or an email discussion list, or twitter or whatever, is the increasing ability to get answers to pressing questions rapidly-because, more often than not, somewhere in the world, someone online is paying attention who has the answer you need. And you can get that answer within a few hours if not minutes. I'd look through the postings and exchanges here for one in which a classroom teacher somewhere in the world posed a question about a particular problem that they faced and received several replies within a short period of time. Try to find one that also has some feedback from the original poster about how they made use of the posted responses. In fact, you could even you this very post of your own to demonstrate how you turned to your social network for advice. If you have enough time, you could find a few such examples in a wide range of topic areas from integrating technology to teaching a particular subject area in order to demonstrate how both teachers and administrators can benefit. More and more administrators are blogging too such as Mrs. Melinda Miller over at <a href="http://weprincipal.blogspot.com/">http://weprincipal.blogspot.com/</a> Central Office types might be especially interested to see how administrators can benefit as well.

<br />
Over the past year I developed a what I consider a pretty sophisticated technology, an interactive multimedia design application called the Nomad Storyteller Platform. I believe it to be the fore runner to the way all web sites, and personal media applications will be designed. In my view the new design keys are user content and presentation creation centered, highly interactive distributed apps with multimedia elements, and collaboration services the include social media interfaces and unified communications services.<br />
<br />
Nomad is designed to seamlessly provides these services in and easy to use framework that can be contained in most operating systems, and a wide range of devices. Nomad can be deployed on the desktop, set top boxes, web pages and social networks that include Facebook, and and Open Social API based.<br />
<br />
Some use scenarios I have explored include:<br />
<br />
- Interactive, viral marketing initiatives<br />
- e-portfolios in career services<br />
- e-learning<br />
- digital lifestyle initiatives<br />
- Universal personal digital archives<br />
- Digital publishing based on multimedia publishing in a social network group environment<br />
- Distributed signage and sorts of viral based initiatives.<br />
<br />
As as a sample of Nomad access <a href="http://nomad.tzo.com:5280/xampp/nomad3d.html">http://nomad.tzo.com:5280/xampp/nomad3d.html</a><br />
via a browser (facebook version available also). Select the top story icon and a story list will be presented,<br />
select a story and interact via scroll bar or arrow keys to position images, click on a center image<br />
and image rotates and pulls in a context related video associated with the image. Click the video player "switch"<br />
button on the right and the video player is removed. Not shown in the sample are text and aduio elements. The arrangement layout of the images and video can be changed to different layouts and animation as a result of Nomad integrated 3D engine. There are early versions on Facebook <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/storytelling">http://apps.facebook.com/storytelling</a>, and Ning <a href="http://nomadstoryteller.ning.com">http://nomadstoryteller.ning.com</a><br />
<br />
Applications are created through the built-in Galaxy Story Editor. The format of stories is based on a story XML language I developed. Story layouts consist of "Sections" as seen by the buttons at the top of the story page, and chapters which comprise the multimedia layout connected to each section. Chapters also have pages which enables different views of new chapters to be streamed into a section. There is no programming required and the story layout in reconstructed at run time via Nomads XML operating systems As well, content contributed to stories can be pulled in from many sources such as Flickr, Facebook, Ning, Amazon S3, and Nomads own distributed storage system.<br />
