6. If you are currently on Twitter, Please introduce yourself and then tweet a colleague and ask them to join and complete this Summer Ed Tech Learning Challenge with you!

Helpful Hints -

When creating a Twitter handle, remember to differentiate between professional and personal. This handle should represent you as a professional educator (@sweethoneybee probably does not say professional educator.)

Also, do not forget to search the hashtag #okcpsetlc to find other awesome OKCPS teachers to follow for resources and ideas during the Summer Ed Tech Learning Challenge.
