So this post is for all of my friends who aren't on Twitter...and aren't quite sure what the draw is.  Not only do I find fun, inspiring and interesting things on a daily basis, such as this:
I also find a crazy amount of information & resources that help me on a daily basis.  At first I was going to give you a summary of all the great things I've found on Twitter in the past 30 days, however, as I created the list, I soon realized that I would be listing all evening.

I didn't realize how many things I find & read & share again on a daily basis.  

So here is a list of links that I've found in the past 7 days on Twitter. I'm interested to see if this will convince you.

The first two weeks have been crazy!  The library is now unpacked after our new carpet was installed this summer.  The new technology is starting to find its home.  Our students are getting onto the network & UGCloud quicker than any other year.  Amazing!

I've held one in-school Google training session, which was awesome, due to the awesome people I work with.  Finally BYOD staff training kicked off in Upper Grand D.S.B.  What an exciting fall & more fun to come.  

Next week I am lucky enough to talk about BYOD with all the UGDSB Spec. Ed. Resource teachers and also kick off the Digital Citizenship component of the BYOD training on Monday & Thursday next week, with Matt Arnold & Rob Robson, my Digital Citizenship partners in crime.

I've taken some time too compile some more Google Resources for you all.  I look forward to adding more throughout the fall.  Thank you all for Learning EdTech with me :)
