Description

Technology has changed what it means for learning communities to "be together." Digital tools are now an important part of teaching, learning, and professional development. But how do you keep pace with it all?

Join Nell Eckersley, Jackie Taylor and guests, to explore popular social media tools available to you and how they may be used in teaching and professional development. Then sign up for a small group to learn how to use the social media tool of your choice. Learn alongside others and share ideas for teaching and learning. Small groups then share back what they learned with the Technology and Professional Development Lists.

Follow @TechPD and hashtags #TechPD and #SMPD for the backchannel in Twitter.
