I am not sure your social potential/capital would always be a benefit to the person hiring you in education. Many times we have had the conversation about hiring the “cheapest” candidate. With equal skills, we might choose the one that would cost us the least.

Sad, I admit, but that’s the difference between the education and the business economy.

Ron you have to get involved. Join a Social Network, there are quite a few on Ning, use twitter, facebook, anywhere where you will find other “Geeky” educators. Once you start blogging or taking part in discussions in these larger networks, you will find your own network starts to grow.
3 Ning networks which have been extremely helpful to me are Classroom20 EFLClassroom and Education.ning.com

Jeff,

You are bang on with the notion of “knowledge business” but knowledge being less about content/thing and more about process and connectedness….

Good to know you are putting this issue out there for us all to consider. I never really considered it before but I do think in the future an interview question might be in the vein of, “So, how do you help others and connect with other teachers professionally?”.

I’m also going to count up my numbers and ask for a raise! Let SAS teachers also know about us at EFL Classroom 2.0!

Thanks again for sparking my “engine” upstairs.

David
