As we gear up for the Better Together: California Teachers Summit, this Twitter Chat will focus on the power of networks to advance teacher’s professional learning. We’ll invite new colleagues to learn about the power of social media (primarily Twitter) to grow or join a Professional Learning Network and then share stories of the power of connecting with colleagues in real life.

This chat will be co-moderated by Cori Orlando & Peter Paccone
