#whatisschool archive 03.09.15 “Social Media in the Classroom”

#whatisschool was honoured this week to have the amazing @ShiftParadigm as our guest co-moderator to host the chat with Craig to talk about Social Media in the Classroom.

It was a fast paced chat as always but packed full of incredible resources, ideas, stories and discussions related to utilizing Social Media in the Classroom to improve student learning and behaviour. I am always so inspired by the #whatisschool community. Make sure you share this archive with your colleagues to get the Social Media in Education buzz moving.

Thank you for continuing to join us and share your passion. The topics that we are discussing and future topics are all driven by you! #whatisschool occurs every week at 7pm EDT and this week we had a huge crowd of people come along to chat about going back to school in the Library.
