For the last few weeks #whatisschool has been talking about ways to infuse your lessons with technology and open your mind to new ideas, especially new teaching strategies.

This week #whatisschool looks at ways that you can tap into your community, inside school walls, outside where your students live and on a global scale!  

Joining us is classroom connection expert and personal friend @gpescatore25, a leader in parent in edu-conversations at #PTchat, @Edutopia Community Facilitator #ParentCamp, Co-host of #ParentED (http://goo.gl/lS1xDu ) & Marketing Mgr @MomCorps (Check Gwen out at www.parentschoolpartners.wordpress.com)
