Twitter with Dessert

DESCRIPTION

The best way to teach a class is to combine two things you really enjoy. I enjoy Twitter and dessert, hence, I have combined them for the benefit of my library patrons. This deck was first used for a presentation during a job interview and I've updated it for a class on 01/11/2013 at the West Hollywood Library.
