Connect. Connect. Connect. My visit with a class of soon to be teachers at The University of Georgia. (Go Dawgs!)

Great ideas for connecting:

Discovery Educator Network (DEN). A high-quality community of generous educators. 
Sign up for a free trial. 
When you are hired in a Georgia School you'll get a full account. 
Check out the Science and Social Studies Tech Books and the Student platform.
