If I was graded I would have probably received an A for running my school where strict rules had to be followed by students, mobile devices banned, and all social media blocked.

My sole purpose for harnessing and leveraging social media was to engage in conversations with like-minded educators and leaders to improve professional practice. This was the turning point for me.
