Why Sharing Your Good Work Is Necessary, Not Boastful

Just last week, I have having a conversation with two educators at a family picnic. They were a thoughtful pair, and they had a wonderful grasp of teaching and learning.

About halfway through the conversation, I asked them the following question:
“Have you ever considered your sharing your good work on Twitter or social media?”

I thought the question was relatively innocuous as both of them had checked Facebook or Instagram throughout our chat. However, their responses were really interesting. They both turned to me and said, “We don’t do that.” When probed, they explained that they felt that it was boastful to show your professional accomplishments on social media.

Their words caused me to stop and reflect. If we’re not sharing the good things we’re doing in our classrooms on social media (and beyond), I believe we’re going to end up with a lot of misperceptions and confused educational stakeholders.
