**Administrators have many roles when it comes to understanding, monitoring, and accessing social media sites:**

 * ======Both building-level and district-level administrators must understand exactly what “social media” is. This means learning about the functions of websites like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. Administrators should learn how and why these websites are popular among students. ======
 * ======Administrators must set expectations for student use of social media. For example, students must know if the information, comments, pictures, etc. they post (i.e. pictures of underage drinking) could result in legal and/or disciplinary sanctions. ======
 * ====== Administrators must also set expectations for teacher use of social media sites. Teachers need to know that students can access social media sites, and that administrators may also monitor them. They should be aware of behavior that is deemed unacceptable by the school district, such as posting inappropriate pictures or contacting students through social media sites. ======
 * ====== It is the administrators job to get training for the teachers. To provide appropriate and updated technology devices. ======
 * To see that the teacher has the support of their district and is provided the time and ability to successfully implement technology education into their classroom.
 * To lead the charge into the future and explain to the community why using social media is a positive in the future of each and every student and to the community at large.
