TWITTER - Who do you follow & Who is following you?
This is also an easy way to glean information about state and federal politics, especially those who are influencing decisions that impact us. Here are just a few twitter accounts that you might want to check out!

In addition to learning from others and staying abreast of local, state, and federal news, there are people who are following YOU. This is a venue to brag about the amazing things you are doing in your classroom and the experiences that you are providing your students. I encourage you to be a positive voice for your classroom, our school, our district, and our profession! There is no greater calling that to impact the lives of children!!!
