Always Grateful!
Always Grateful!
I use the above phase daily, no matter what circumstances I encounter. I have come to realize that no matter what, there is always something to be grateful for.
The month of January proved to give me so much, that the phase is what I have been saying almost hourly. I have the fortunate honor to be not only named the 2020 South Carolina High School Counselor of the Year, but also the 2020 South Carolina Counselor of the Year!
I have been blessed and favored with talents, one of which is being a High School Counselor for 20 years, and especially spending most of those years as a Director and leader, developing comprehensive School Counseling programs that are effective in addressing the academic, personal/social and career needs of students. I am grateful that I get to do what I love each day!
To be honored by your peers is one of the most rewarding experiences there is! I end, as I began, ALWAYS GRATEFUL!

My Personal Experience with Twitter!
My Personal Experience with Twitter!
Tweet. Tweeter. Twitter. Twitterer. I’ve used all these terms at some point during my process of becoming familiar with Twitter. Now I would consider myself an avid Twitter Tweeter. I initially started with Twitter to celebrate the success of my students, their scholarship awards, their college acceptances, their awards and recognition. I have gradually moved to Tweeting information items about college and career opportunities, scholarship opportunities and other experiences that are available to enhance student learning. I have also used Twitter to share information with students and parents to deal with traumatic experiences, such as floods, hurricanes, unexpected deaths, and dealing with suicide, depression and anxiety. Twitter has become a valuable resource tool to share information in a quick, concise and accurate manner.
I have been very cognizant of organizations and people that I follow. It is important to me that as a Professional School Counselor that I follow credible sources that I can gleam relevant information to share with my followers, who can them tag and retweet others in need of the information.
We are a rapidly changing society. Information is desired in an easy format, short, simple and to the point. Twitter provides that format. Micro-blogging at it’s best, Twitter is becoming the go to for many educators, and I am glad to be one of them!

Your digital footprint is like your online reputation, or how others may see you, depending on the things you do online. It is important to be aware of it because anything posted online is permanent and stays there forever regardless of whether you think that you have deleted it.
Digital citizenship is essential to helping students achieve and understand online literacy, as well as ensuring cyberbully prevention, online safety, digital responsibility, and digital health & wellness.
