Adoption of technology can be disruptive and uncomfortable, but it creates opportunities for learning for all involved. #satechBOS

Thinking about: tech-based unconferences that cater to SSAOs. Lots of ppl on the front lines at these, what about their bosses? #satechBOS

Did you know #satechbos started out as a small convo, and 4 yrs later the attendance has grown to over 60 + . But what have we done?

"I don't think as a profession we have done enough to push this agenda forward." – @EdCabellon #satechbos

— Katie Collins (@katie_collins) July 31, 2014

Colleges have money. We need to show why new technology initiatives are valuable. @EdCabellon #satechBOS

— Mike Fox (@_mikefox) July 31, 2014

Are we improving staff and student job descriptions to include the importance of technology in the digital age? #satechBOS #keynote

— Drew Salad (@saladbar15) July 31, 2014

Can we move past the idea of students as consumers into students as creators, if we're fighting the idea of them as consumers? #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

@paulgordonbrown I find this statement to be congruent to the majority of what happens with our field.. lots of talk.. but where's the beef

— Valerie Heruska (@ValerieHeruska) July 31, 2014

. @EdCabellon " Let's shift from students as consumers to creators. " – let's provide them with the proper training . #satechBOS

— Kelley McCarthy (@KMcCarthy8185) July 31, 2014

We need to put students at the center of new initiatives, not ourselves. –@EdCabellon #satechBOS

— Adam Gismondi (@AdamGismondi) July 31, 2014

It's not just the picture in our heads of what engagement looks like. You need data to back it up. #SATechBOS

— Mike Fox (@_mikefox) July 31, 2014

How well do we know our students? When was the last time we researched campus demographics? Was technology considered? #satechBOS

— Drew Salad (@saladbar15) July 31, 2014

It's important to look at where our students are coming from, what are high school students doing/using with technology? #satechBOS

— Bethany Tuller (@bethanytuller) July 31, 2014

Katie, remember to get "It's Complicated: the social lives of networked teens" by Danah Boyd. #satechBOS

— Katie Collins (@katie_collins) July 31, 2014

Know how to share ideas in many modalities. When you share, does your target audience (students, faculty, investors) get you? #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

Here are the presentations books/resources @EdCabellon mentioned for designing presentations. #SATechBOS http://t.co/jpuTZZRIEM

If a strategy makes life easier and better, ask for resources over permission- but back up your need. Make it important to them #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

.@EdCabellon is giving me so much homework. #readingsonreadings #satechBOS

— Katie Collins (@katie_collins) July 31, 2014

If college truly becomes unbound, don't ask what our value will be, ask where you'll fit in that model. #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

Dream big. Act bigger. And help those who are uncomfortable with it, grow in their understanding and competency in these areas. #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

Great keynote by @EdCabellon!

Got me thinking: how do we move from digital literacy to fluency? #satechBOS

— Mike Lynch (@MikeLynch09) July 31, 2014

#satechbos keynote thanks to Ed Cabellon! Digital Literacy for 21st Century Leadership in Higher… http://t.co/CR2S45s3Xq

First up: Using Tech to Engage Commuter or Off-Campus Students with @RayBrowersBody #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

Commuter event locations are voted on via social media; has been a good way to get students together in their neighborhood. #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

Learning about info graphs – great resources – infogr.am , visually , piktochart #satechBOS

— Kelley McCarthy (@KMcCarthy8185) July 31, 2014

How are you using social media to leverage your #sasearch? #sachat #satechBOS

— Katie Collins (@katie_collins) July 31, 2014

Learning about advanced google image searches. Pretty neat stuff. #satechBOS

— Mike Lynch (@MikeLynch09) July 31, 2014

This @SuffolkOCHO off-campus guide is pretty amazing. Digital and mobile friendly for students is key! #satechBOS pic.twitter.com/EnSIrrwga1

— Trish Fontanilla (@trishofthetrade) July 31, 2014

@AdamGismondi I love it for recommendations. Want to know how I am to work with? Or what students think of me? It's there! #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

How can we (#sachat #SATech) use video-centered technologies to advance higher ed & connect students? #satechBOS

— Adam Gismondi (@AdamGismondi) July 31, 2014

Offices using snapchat: What phone do you use? What happens if that person leaves the university? #satechBOS

— Mike Fox (@_mikefox) July 31, 2014

Completely forgot about Flipboard…gotta look at that again. #satechBOS

— Katie Collins (@katie_collins) July 31, 2014

@paulgordonbrown Great photo! Glad you're enjoying the beautiful day!

@ammamarfo As a student affairs pro who works in marketing, I totally see the advantages of working together vs. striking out on your own.

— Kristen Abell (@Kristen_Abell) July 31, 2014

"A horse is a camel built by committee." Think about that as you determine the contributors to your office's SoMe brand. #satecbos

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

How are your tech-based efforts furthering the goals and successes of other offices? Buy-in comes easier that way. #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

We fault students for thinking about projects in term of their legacy (will I see it?), but pros think that way too. #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

Schools that have centers for innovation, earmark funds for student advances. Is there similar funding for staff's big ideas? #satechBOS

— Amma Marfo (@ammamarfo) July 31, 2014

Great day at #SAtechBOS! 🙂 (at @SimmonsCollege Academic Campus in Boston, MA) http://t.co/S4jcuFT6tr
