Minnesota’s child development & parenting information available on Facebook & Twitter
Because more and more people are receiving information from social media these days, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) recently joined the social media movement by establishing a Facebook page and a Twitter account.
We are using these tools to complement our other communication efforts such as the state of Minnesota parent Website (www.mnparentsknow.info), periodic listserv distribution and the regular Early Learning Services information on the MDE Web pages. One of the main benefits of Facebook and Twitter is speed – if you are following us on either of these sites, you will hear about Web-based parent tools, videos, resources and announcements.
We encourage everyone interested in child development, early childhood education and parenting topics in Minnesota to become a “fan” of our Facebook page and a “follower” of our Twitter account. Users can find our Facebook page by searching for the Minnesota Department of Education and follow our Twitter updates at MnDeptEd. Also, visit YouTube for Department videos at http://www.youtube.com/mndeptofed.
