School Librarian Use of Social Media for Professional Learning: A Leveled Analysis

• In Event: Teacher professional development

Short Description

Florida school librarians responded to a four-part questionnaire about their use of social media for professional learning. Data includes: 1) What activities, 2) Why they participate, and 3) Barriers. Results are presented through two levels of analysis: Platform Type and Participant Role (passerby, lurker, networker, content creator, community leader). Platform level-analysis is uncommon in professional learning research; Role level-analysis is possibly unique. This research is Part 1 of a three-stage project.
