On July 29 I had the privilege of giving an EdTalk at the California Teacher's Summit to 350 educators at the Cal State Channel Islands Campus. Since my word of 2016 is Risk, I couldn't very well say no! This teacher's summit happened across California at 38 different sites. At the beginning of the day, the MC asked all beginning teachers to raise their hands and probably 75% of the room raised their hand! I was floored that this many new teachers were willing to give up a Friday during their summer for professional development. I spoke on my passion of collaboration and connecting teachers through the use of Twitter. In this talk I focused on how Twitter changed my classroom and how it changed me as an educator. While the 3 points I hit were homework, genius hour, and flexible seating, there were many other things that have changed in my classroom thanks to Twitter and my PLN. If you are interested in connecting or have questions about Twitter, please don't hesitate to ask!
