Join this beginner session to learn Twitter basics and strategies for sharing your work using social media!

It’s hard to find time to fit professional learning into your busy schedule. You’d love to learn more about content literacy, leadership skills, the newest tech tools, and everything else that piques your interest as an educator/administrator.
