Younghusband for Mayor

Virtual Campaigning.  How effective is social media in conveying your ideas, thoughts, and dreams?  We do it all of the time in education. I’ve just finished my favourite hour of the week on #bcedchat conversing with educators in BC and North America.  It’s an awesome and engaging experience.  When educators want to celebrate… to inquire… or to connect with others… we will make a TWEET, a Facebook post, or blog.  What role does social media have in municipal politics?  As an educator, I have found Twitter to be an excellent tool and forum to meet new people, learn something new, and share my ideas with others.  As a politician, I admire @CoryBooker, the former Mayor of Newark, NJ… now, US Senator. Cory Booker connected, communicated, and helped his constituents of Newark as mayor via Twitter.  It would be difficult to imagine 10 years ago to be one tweet away from your local politician. I love it.  I encourage it.  Want to connect with me?  Follow me @ChristineYH.
