Social Media as a Tool in the Classroom ANNOUNCEMENT!

It is with great excitement that I announce my first ever conference presentation date in the upcoming 27th Annual Early Years Conference.

Each year, Conestoga College hosts a full day Early Learning Conference to support the current trends in early learning and care in March. Earlier this fall, I was asked to consider speaking at this event on “Using twitter as a tool in the classroom”, a topic I have spoke about to students and small groups at the college. After readjusting the topic and expanding it to include additional social media outlets I use such as my personal and classroom blog, we have confirmed the title: “Using Social Media as a Tool in the Classroom”. Thinking back to last years experience where I learned and was inspired by Sarah Andrade and Tracy Pickard’s authentic teaching experiences, I am very excited to announce that I will be speaking at this year’s conference for the first time this March! 

Details and registration are to follow on the Conestoga College website and I will be adding to the blog when they do. Thank-you to all of those who have supported my interest in social media and value the ever-changing teaching methods in education!
