Co-Director, Berkeley World Language Project; French Teacher; Facilitator @Edutopia; Team Moderator #Langchat @TwitterI was reluctant to get on social media, until I was stuck at home for 6 weeks convalescing from surgery. And now? I am hooked! I’ll talk about how and why I decided to become a "connected educator" and how that has changed my career, my outlook, and how it has helped me become a better teacher. I look forward to seeing you all on November 8th!
