Right before CommunityLIVE, I received another reminder that as technology evolves, I need to work to keep up.

My daughter came home with a piece of paper (note the irony) explaining that her sixth grade teachers are starting an Instagram account to post class pictures throughout the year. The school gave parents the opportunity to opt-out of having their children’s pictures posted online.
