Educators can empower others to use communication, social media, collaboration and connections to make a difference. This workshop will focus on developing a vision that encourages students to “think, lead and serve while connecting to their passions.” Change can begin by building a team environment that includes teachers and students. Shannon will demonstrate how to strengthen the local school community and promote global connectivity using Google Sites, blogging and social networks. You will leave this presentation with several ideas that can be replicated and successful in your schools as well.
