Learn and connect through Twitter! Join the Slow Chat 3/21-3/24
There is an upcoming Twitter chat with Arlington ISD, which will be Mon.-Thurs. 3/21-3/24! Twitter chats are great ways to connect with others and share ideas about teaching! The Arlington ISD chat is a “slow chat” meaning you can answer the question for the day throughout the day. Several College of Education faculty will also be participating in the Twitter chat!
We invite all College of Education students to consider joining! It’s a great way to learn and preservice teachers are welcome to join, as well!
The hashtag is: #arlingtech. Also, use the hashtag #UTACOEd to let others know you are affiliated with UTA’s College of Education! J
