DESCRIPTION

There are a number of simple, easy-to-use social media tools that teachers can use to be more productive, and to reach more of their students. This is a presentation that Troy D. White conducted for the New York City Social Studies Teachers at their annual retreat on May 22, 2010. You may download, distribute and share this presentation (in fact, I'd be thrilled if you do); please do not change the digital content, however. Thank you.
