Joe Mazza is co-leading an upcoming Ed Week Webinar on Connecting Parents and Schools Via Social Media Initiatives. Here’s the description:

Connecting Parents and Schools Via Social Media Initiatives

This event takes place on Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013, 12 to 1 p.m. ET.

From using Skype to run parent-teacher conferences to live streaming PTA meetings, the variety of digital-outreach tactics employed by school leaders continues to grow. But socioeconomic disparities like access to technology and digital know-how are limiting participation. As a result, some districts are forging partnerships and providing resources to help parents become more digitally literate. Join this webinar, which will explore some promising practices being undertaken to engage parents digitally and address digital divides.
Presenters:

Joseph Mazza, principal, Knapp Elementary School, North Penn, Pa.

Elisabeth Stock, chief executive officer and co-founder, Computers For Youth
