Building Community Through Technology!

Thursday, March 10, 2016, 4:00:00 PM to 5:00:00 PM
Relationships are crucial to anything in life. I have been working on making them even stronger in our school and community through technology, including texting and social media use. In this session, I want to share how to increase your relationships through actual examples that have been successful for me. Come, pick my brain, and share your ideas so we can work together to build the very best educational communities ever.

How It All Came About...
